Global Education Fund (GEF) is a catalyst for educational access that otherwise would not exist for many of the people it serves: this is why I give.
Few organizations seek to offer this access in the way GEF does; they do it in a humble manner, honoring local populations and involving local leaders, asking them how GEF can help rather than bringing preconceived plans to the table: this is why I give. GEF seeks new ways to innovate, to leverage new technologies and new ideas, moving beyond traditional models of education whenever new approaches are needed: this is why I give.
As a father, as an educator, as a PhD candidate, and as a citizen of the world, I have a passion for education, and realize its power to change lives for the better. I believe access to a relevant and worthwhile education should be considered a human right, and so does GEF. If we can help more people gain access to the world of education, the future of our world will be much brighter: this is why I give.
Meeting with the Project Vision team, I was impressed with their model of globally and technologically connected, relevant, and accessible education. GEF is helping them make their innovative model a reality: this is why I give.
The UN reports that 115 million children have no access to a primary education. Think about those 115 million children, and I’m sure you will give too.
