Show your support this holiday season by participating in our “Keep Skateistan Rolling” fundraising drive for the month of December.

Since 2007 we’ve rarely asked our supporters for donations but as a grassroots NGO we in fact rely on the generosity of people around the world like you to continue the work that we do. At the same time, we know how annoying it gets to be hassled on the street by some stranger with a clipboard or bombarded with guilt-inducing images, so we thought we’d make this fundraising drive all about showing you some behind-the-scenes action at Skateistan.

Over the first week of December, as a part of the “Keep Skateistan Rolling” drive, we released a new daily video, giving you a glimpse into daily life at our project sites and the amazing youth we work with. The video stories also give you an idea of how your holiday donations can impact the lives of Skateistan’s students, especially the skater girls in Afghanistan and Cambodia.

A few examples:
$10 - Transport for 10 Cambodian youth to and from Skateistan for 2 weeks
$20 – Fuel to bring 140 girls in Kabul to Skateistan each week
$50 – Management training course for one female Afghan staff member

Every donation, no matter how small, helps keep Skateistan students rolling towards new opportunities and personal empowerment. To those of you who donate even more, we love you for it and we'll put it to good use!

This year, consider making a donation in the name of your friend or family member that will give the gift of skateboarding to Afghan and Cambodian children.

How to join the campaign:

1) Take 2 minutes to support Skateistan, and make a donation right now!
2) Give the perfect Christmas gift by making a donation in the name of a friend or family member.
3) Share our posts and videos on Facebook (www.facebook.com/skateistan), Twitter (www.skateistan.org/twitter), and through email, or even in-person with humans!
4)Promote the campaign through your website, blog or business.

We appreciate any support you can offer!
