Why We Exist
Everyone Has a Voice Worth Sharing
Many people carry a calling, a message, and a desire to impact others — but are limited by the language barrier.
Jesus said, "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19).
In a world connected by English, language can either open doors or create barriers.
English By Donation exists to help people build confidence in English so they can share their voice, fulfill their purpose, and impact the nations.

God Glorified. People Loved.
Lives Transformed.
We envision a world where language is no longer a barrier to community, education, ministry, or opportunity. A world where people from every nation can fully participate in the places they are called to serve.
Removing language barriers through accessible English education.
We provide donation-based English classes that help international students, missionaries, immigrants, and professionals communicate with confidence and pursue their purpose.
Accessibility • Compassion • Excellence • Generosity • Purpose
We believe everyone deserves the opportunity to learn, regardless of their financial circumstances. We teach with excellence, serve with compassion, and create opportunities through generosity.
Helping people find their voice and step into their calling.
Language is more than communication. It's connection, confidence, belonging, and opportunity. We help people communicate clearly so they can contribute fully to the communities, ministries, workplaces, and nations they are called to influence.
Powered by generosity. Driven by purpose.

Meet The Founder
Hi! I'm Aline :)
After living abroad for over a decade across Canada, Australia, and now the United States, I've experienced firsthand how language can shape confidence, connection, and opportunity.
As a Christian, I saw this reality even more clearly during my first international mission trip. I met incredible students, missionaries, and leaders from around the world who carried passion, gifts, and calling, yet often felt limited by the language barrier.
At the same time, I realized that quality English education was not always accessible to those who needed it most.
That's why English By Donation was born.
Our mission is to make English communication more accessible, helping people build confidence, find community, and use their voice wherever God calls them.
