Literacy Tools and Training (LiTT) Program
GEF’s cornerstone initiative, the program was founded on the conviction that a quality education starts with access to the tools necessary for learning.
Scholarship and Leadership Program
This program is rooted in the idea that a combination of rigorous academic preparation, practical life skills training, and supportive relationships will enable participants to reach their full potential and contribute to improving the lives of others.
Partnering for Children and Education since 2002
IZZE and Global Education Fund share the simple idea that children are our future. Since its first day as a business in 2002, IZZE has partnered with Global Education Fund to help us bring hope - through education - to thousands of children around the world. IZZE's consistent support has helped us reach more children and increase public awareness through collaborative marketing, school partnership assistance, book drives, and financial support.
