Providing Access to Education for Displaced Students
The students displaced by the tragic earthquake on 8/14/21 need our support as they recover. Unfortunately, emergency settings cause gaps in teaching and shortages in administrative staff prevent local education systems from meeting many student needs. And coordination challenges generally inhibit humanitarian teams from acting as efficiently as needed. The longer students remain without access to education, the less likely they are to return. Continuity in education increases the likelihood that students will complete their full education cycle, preparing them for a healthy, productive future.
With your support, we intend to meet this need by establishing safe spaces where students have access to critical educational resources, skill building seminars and tutors to support their studies. Students will be equipped with the skills needed to contribute to the sustainable redevelopment of their community through service and civic engagement.
Our project would provide:
-
Elementary students with access to supplementary arithmetic and literary practice
-
Secondary students with the appropriate level of challenging coursework for mathematics, science and reading
-
University students with access to short term certifiable courses from accredited programs, research databases and, access to study halls and tutors for support
Current partners include: Trigo Networks and Skyroam.
Please stay tuned for updates.
