Microboard is deeply grateful for our mission partners and to everyone who helped make the past year of humanitarian service so meaningful. In 2025, we witnessed countless moments of progress and compassion. While every mission touched lives in important ways, four stood out for the remarkable strides they made and the lasting impact they created.
On April 7, 2025, Josephs International School opened its doors for its inaugural school year in a newly constructed, ultra-modern facility in Jaipur, India. The K-12 school can accommodate up to 800 students and provides free, internationally accredited, English-medium education to at-risk children. Many of these students are the first in their families to have access to any formal education.
In 2025, Microboard achieved a new record in establishing clean water locations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Working with WorldServe, City Ministries Nigeria, and Taste Nigeria, we were able to open nearly 2,000 clean water sites. This achievement was made possible through our program of drilling deep water wells as well as rehabilitating old ones.
Sandy’s Helpers was another bright spot of the year. Helping widows and single mothers achieve economic independence through small animal farming startups in a program that began in the summer of 2021 with 17 women. In the summer of 2025, this number surpassed 2,100 women as Sandy’s Helpers expanded outside of Nigeria to Kenya and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Speaking of the Democratic Republic of Congo, Microboard made significant headway in the Rebuilders farm project. This project is helping to provide food and meet the massive food insecurity due to the conflict in Ituri Province. Rebuilders founders, James and Riziki, traveled to the U.S in the summer to visit high-yield farming locations in Vermont.
As we reflect on these milestones, we are filled with gratitude for the partners, donors, and volunteers who make each achievement possible. From educational opportunity to economic empowerment and sustainable agriculture, 2025 was a year of impact powered by compassion and collaboration. These stories represent more than numbers, they are lives changed and futures reimagined. We look forward to sharing more in the months ahead as we continue this vital work, together.
