Over 305,000 children have been impacted by partnerships constructing 55 schools and our support of local educators to provide an excellent educational environment in the poorest communities. Education is the means to break the cycle of poverty; our goal is to offer more children hope to succeed.

275 million children worldwide lack access to education, perpetuating cycles of poverty. As economies grow, educational disparities widen. Barriers such as the absence of schools, a shortage of willing teachers in rural areas, insufficient resources, and hunger are pervasive. Girls encounter further hurdles, including child marriage, isolation during menstruation, and inadequate hygiene facilities. Our initiatives seek to dismantle these barriers, fostering educational access for every child.

We work alongside local educators developing schools in communities without any, thus far we’ve built 55 schools. Our efforts go beyond buildings however: we supply meals to boost academic performance and hygiene facilities so all children, especially girls, can attend school with dignity. We support girls escaping child marriage to continue in education and help rural schools recruit and accommodate teachers. Our aim is to remove obstacles to and improve the quality of education for all.
