Education Transforms a Child’s Future

Throughout our long experience working with some of the world’s most vulnerable children, education has always been a clear winner when it comes to transforming such a child’s life. Education creates opportunity — every year spent in school increases a person’s earnings by 10^%. Education also helps increase the health of mothers and their children.

Our Education Programs

Ethiopia / Guatemala / Burundi

In order to participate in our Family Preservation programs, school-aged children must be enrolled in and regularly attend school. We provide all children with school uniforms and supplies like notebooks, pens and pencils, and also make tutoring available to help keep kids in school through grade 12. What’s more, to ensure we leave no one behind, we provide access to vocational training for those 16+ who aren’t academically-inclined. And offer financial support to young adults wishing to pursue post-secondary education that would otherwise be beyond their reach.

I used to cry at night because it was almost time to enrol my daughter in middle school, and I did not know how I would be able to afford to send her. After meeting with the social worker, I felt a great relief knowing that my daughter could continue studying and would receive school supplies. —Juanita Mother of Sponsored Child, Guatemala

My husband and I never finished our education and I was worried that if Eduardo didn’t understand something there would be no one to help explain things to him. I am excited for his future now that he has the support of the teachers from the program. —Maria Mother of Sponsored Child, Guatemala
