Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Develop flourishing Godly nations by effecting 360 degree transformation of children, families and communities by coming alongside school proprietors of low-fee independent schools.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We provide at least one of these three key resources to our partner schools:
1. Training of school leaders and teachers to develop Christ-like character in students and school leaders to manage and grow their schools effectively.
2. Loan capital to expand and improve school facilities
3. Education technology to enhance learning outcomes and employability
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
To execute our strategy we primarily partner with local organizations to leverage their particular expertise. We currently are working with over 60 training and local lending organizations across the 12 countries we serve.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have cumulatively impacted over 17,500 schools with an enrollment of over 4.5 million students in 12 countries through a holistic array of program services including training, loans and education technology (all numbers cumulative as of September 30, 2022).
