Help Our School is a Norway-based organization that was established to provide education to indigenous Tuareg children in Timbolo (Timbuktu/Mali). Indigenous Sami people came up with the idea for the organization because they wished to show solidarity with other indigenous people. The Timbolo School was built in 2016 and has seventy students between the ages of 7 and 14 from the nomadic Tuareg people. In the summer of 2019, arsonists burned down the school.

Since 2013, Les Enfants du K2 has financed a boarding school in Skardu, Pakistan, that houses children of porters from the village of Askole. Without this help, the children would not be able to continue their educations.

A 2019 grant from the Cultures of Resistance Network supported the housing and education of two students that are children of porters on K2 mountain.

The Iraqi and Syrian Student Project was created by Theresa Kubasak and Gabe Huck in 2008. Originally called the Iraqi Student Project, it became the Iraqi and Syrian Student Project (ISSP) in 2016. ISSP places aspiring young students displaced by the wars in Iraq and Syria in undergraduate degree programs in the United States. A grassroots effort to help Iraqi and Syrian refugees acquire the undergraduate educations they need to participate in rebuilding their countries, ISSP’s work largely involves seeking tuition waivers and scholarships from American colleges and universities.
