School the World is a non-profit organization committed to solving extreme poverty through the power of education. We believe all children love to learn, want to learn and are capable of learning. We believe all parents want a better life for their children and all teachers prefer motivation and achievement to apathy and failure. Nevertheless, we recognize that the complexities behind generational poverty require us to be innovative and often disruptive to make real learning possible. We start with building schools. To create lasting and sustainable change, we also train teachers, deeply engage the parents and local community, stock libraries, and build life skills and values through play; empowering entire communities around the importance of education. Most recently, we've grown our programs to include early childhood development and middle schools; 10 years of quality education. Children enroll in school ready to learn and through our scholarships and distance learning programs, children can continue their education past primary school. We have built 119 schools and 61 playgrounds, educating 13,377 children, we've stocked 635 school libraries with 42,890 books, trained 7,395 teachers and empowered 7,821 parents to be their child's first educator. Our programs provide quality education to some of the world's poorest children from early childhood through early adolescence; providing them with the education, digital literacy and life skills to charter a path our of extreme poverty.
