Onda Housing Group has donated $25,000 to Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee to support its tuition assistance program, helping expand access to high-quality early childhood education for families with low incomes.

The contribution will directly fund Pathways’ tuition assistance initiative, which reduces financial barriers and enables more children to participate in enriching early learning and care programs. This support comes at a pivotal time as Pathways prepares to expand its reach and welcome additional students in the upcoming academic year.

“This investment is incredibly meaningful to us because it allows us to give back to the community we call home,” said Andrews Cribbs, CEO and co-founder of Onda Housing Group. “As we work to bring Wave at Rose to life in Immokalee, we’re equally focused on supporting the families who will live there. By investing in Pathways, we’re helping ensure children have access to strong educational foundations, which creates opportunity not just for today, but for generations to come.”

The donation reflects Onda Housing Group’s broader commitment to strengthening the Immokalee community, where the company recently broke ground on Wave at Rose, a new affordable housing development that will bring 230 rental units to local residents. Designed for individuals and families earning up to 60% of the area median income, the community will provide high-quality, attainable housing options with amenities that support stability and quality of life.

“The earliest years of a child’s life are the foundation for everything that follows,” said Brandon Dowdy, chief executive officer of Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee. “By investing in these critical beginnings, Pathways and Onda Housing Group are empowering children to build brighter, stronger futures filled with opportunity and hope. This tuition assistance ensures that financial constraints do not prevent families from providing their children with environments rich in wonder, nurture and intentionality.”

Through investments like this, Onda Housing Group continues to demonstrate its commitment to building stronger communities and going beyond housing to support the people and families who make those communities thrive.
