What is at stake in Pakistan? Simply put, it is freedom or bondage. Through transformative education, children who are forced into labor can be free to study, grow, and secure a better future for themselves.

Pakistan is a primarily Muslim country with the less than 2% of Christians working as street cleaners or brick makers. These families work for very low wages and often they have to take out loans that lead to generations of bonded labor to pay them off. As a result, the children of these families are often not given opportunities to study due to the bondage.

We will continue partnering with a local Pakistani educator making a way for their students to enroll in university. For these students to make it to college means they have an opportunity to receive a degree, break the cycle of bonded labor, and serve their community. We will continue to grow the college scholarship program and work with our educational partner on the ground to support three schools serving 700 students.

Conflict, instability, and underdevelopment with minimal resources have inhibited the education sector in Sudan. The lack of a comprehensive and inclusive education in Sudan has led to the country recording the largest number of out-of-school children in the Mid-North African region of the continent. Providing a safe learning environment for children in which they can receive a quality education will position them for a brighter future.

The need to train teachers and volunteers in Sudan is central to averting the generational impact of war on children. We purpose to leverage expertise within the education field through a locally contextualized approach to providing a transformative educational experience that is marked by excellence and mentorship.

G.E.G. is a group of educators brought together from around the world who share a common goal with B2THEWORLD — to provide a transformative educational experience for children and families in countries that are recovering from war.

We bring school leaders from around the world together to learn, collaborate, and navigate the challenges that they face in their various school settings. Aside from the training and insight from Dr. Thomas and other B2THEWORLD staff, we bring in experienced facilitators to lead impactful sessions with an emphasis on useful tips and knowledge that can be put into practice by the attendees of the gathering.

While we often display pictures of and information about work we do around the world, but sometimes we serve in places where sharing information can put our workers and beneficiaries in danger. We refer to these places as Project Global countries.

War, poverty, and corruption have held people down. Access to sufficient food, education, or safety have been stolen from innocent people. The suffering could be the result of immediate or generational impacts of war.

Our Project Global allows us to take meaningful steps to building relationships, identifying partners and serving students and families in some of the hardest hit areas around the world. We do so carefully and intentionally to help all people.
