Education is the cornerstone of a brighter future. We are dedicated to providing quality education to underprivileged children.

Give the gift of quality education to students in rural communities

We’re on a mission to provide quality education to children in rural and remote communities of the world. Join us! No matter the size of your contribution, it will make a big impact on not only sending children to school but also ensuring they stay in school and complete their education.

We started with one school—and the belief that lasting change begins with local leadership.

Now, 200 schools later, we’ve seen what’s possible when communities take the lead.

Read more about the 200th school dedication in Tuluché II, Guatemala in February 2026.

Pack your bags for an unforgettable evening! Join us at the Back to School Bash on Friday, November 14 at The Four Seasons Hotel in Boston.

Sustainable work
requires 100%
collaboration

We work with parents, government officials, and community leaders in rural areas towards the transformation of local education systems. We believe that accountability is key in improving the quality of education in rural communities. We build schools, playgrounds, train teachers, grant scholarships to the most vulnerable students, and engage parents through training to become their children’s first educators.
