    The Financial Breakdown

    Paper Airplanes relies on hundreds of volunteers and 40 staff members to provide basic instruction to people affected by conflict. With their help, we reach over 500 learners across the Middle East every semester. The value of these volunteers in 2023 alone was approximately $613,090. Yet, the need for language and professional skills training exceeds our current capabilities. Each term we are forced to turn away hundreds of students wanting to learn because we do not have the financial capacity to support them.

    Our organization has reached a critical financial stage of growth. In 2025, we hope to take on 1,000 beneficiaries, grow our staff to include at least 75% former program beneficiaries and invest in technological improvements to expand our programs.
