The Lemonade with Ice Decade Impact Report traces ten years of work that began with a six-year-old and a lemonade stand in Houston. That first summer raised $330 for girls’ education. Ten years on, Lemonade with Ice has served 350+ students, awarded 46+ scholarships, mobilised 75 volunteers and built 18 partnerships across three continents. The report walks through every program: free math workshops and virtual STEM classes, book drives and tutoring, the Future Voices Awards in speech and debate, entrepreneurship training and startup pitch competitions with The Village School, the EmpowerHER Summit and its student Innovation Marketplace, and LemonTree, which backs founders aged 12 to 18 with micro-grants of $50 to $500 plus a mentor. It introduces the Youth Leadership Team who run these programs, the global partners who carry the work into rural India, and the recognition that has followed, including the Platinum Seal of Transparency, a 2025 Top-Rated Nonprofit rating, and the Mayor’s Next Generation Award.
Lemonade With Ice is busy at work—right here in Houston and across the globe through our incredible partners. Every day, we see the power of education change lives. When a young girl is given the chance to complete her education, she gains more than knowledge—she gains confidence, opportunity, and hope.
In FY 2024 and 2025, we’ve been blessed to touch many lives. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our sponsors, the dedication of our volunteers, and the tireless efforts of our team. Because of you, every dollar raised is helping a girl take another step on her educational journey.
Together, we’re not just funding education—we’re building futures.
Lemonade With Ice is proud to support scholarships for high school students through our partnership with Junior Achievement. Together, we are preparing our community’s young people to face tomorrow with confidence—equipped to take on every challenge and embrace every opportunity that comes their way.
Lemonade With Ice proudly continues to raise funds in support of the MALALA Fund program. Since 2017, we have contributed to advancing girls’ education across the Middle East, helping to break barriers and open doors to brighter futures. In the past year, we expanded our efforts by hosting free virtual math classes and donating books—ensuring that students not only gain access to education but also have the resources to thrive.
Our collaboration with GHAR reflects a shared vision: to empower young girls who have faced trauma and adversity, and help them build lives filled with possibility. GHAR serves girls who have been rescued from trafficking, abuse, or abandonment. Many come from heartbreaking situations—but thanks to GHAR’s care and now Lemonade with Ice’s partnership, they are growing into empowered, educated young women with bright futures.
Lemonade with Ice is proud to announce our meaningful partnership with Nari Samata Manch, a respected NGO based in Pune, Maharashtra, India, dedicated to uplifting underprivileged girls and women through education, advocacy, and empowerment.

Lemonade with Ice is proud to partner with Kritagyata Trust, an inspiring organization based in India that is deeply committed to uplifting underprivileged girls and children through education, care, and empowerment. We are working together to ensure that every girl has the tools to dream, create, and thrive.
