Fundraising Focus
|
The Sarah Marr Memorial Scholarship is a post-secondary scholarship for youth in the Carmen Bajo community, designed to help those most in need to continue their educations and break cycles of poverty in Jesus' name. All funds raised will support the work of Impact Ecuador and this scholarship in particular. Sarah lived and volunteered in Ecuador for 2 years and upon her return continued on as the liaison between the supporting churches and Impact Ecuador for over a decade until her passing in 2020. Sarah gave generously of her time and resources in many ways to support the Carmen Bajo community, including her passion to support children with the costs of post-secondary education. The Sarah Marr Memorial Scholarship was created to honour Sarah’s legacy and expand on the work she began. Your ImpactIn 2023 Sarah's Ride helped provide a transformative experience for 5 scholarship recipients who traveled to Guatemala to gain intercultural and work experience. By leaving their usual context, these young people had the opportunity to experience the love of God in a new and profound way. Upon returning to Ecuador, they recognized the impact they can have on the church and community, expressing their commitment to being agents of change. Since its inception, the Sarah Marr Memorial Scholarship, with the support of funding from Sarah's Ride, has helped 17 students complete their post-secondary education, with 15 students currently studying with scholarship support.
