How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Community-Participatory Student Selectionmethodology: community-participatory selectionBy involving the local community in selecting students for educational support, we ensure aid reaches the most vulnerable families, because community knowledge improves targeting and equity in resource distribution.
- Education as Primary Driver of Developmentmethodology: education-for-developmentBy investing in education, we produce long-term social, economic, and democratic change in Haiti, because education equips individuals with the tools to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty and injustice.
- Food-for-Educationmethodology: food-for-educationBy providing meals to children before school, we improve their ability to concentrate and engage in learning, because hunger is a direct barrier to educational attendance and performance.
- Infrastructure and Affordability Support for Schoolsmethodology: infrastructure-support-for-educationBy building and maintaining schools and subsidizing teacher salaries conditional on reduced tuition, we increase access to education, because physical infrastructure and cost are key barriers to enrollment and quality instruction in underserved areas.
