GLOBAL EDUCATION FUND

With your help we:

Provide scholarships to students who would not otherwise have the opportunity to attend high school, along with community service experiences and leadership training.

Have purchased textbooks and funded teacher training to improve the quality of education in slum schools.

Have delivered nearly $2 million worth of books to thousands of deserving orphans and vulnerable children.

Have established more than 60 libraries in orphanage homes, community centers and schools.

Work with American school children to teach them about the educational needs of extremely poor children around the world and give them an opportunity to make a difference through book drives and other community service projects.



Our guiding principles:

We listen to local needs on the ground and develop individualized strategies, rather than dictate a one-size fits all approach.

We identify and form partnerships with experienced and trusted community leaders, who are at the core of our success. We work with these partners to create sustainable, local solutions.

To maximize our impact and provide an integrated response, we work with a vast network of NGOs, publishing companies, book distributors, multi-nationals and universities.

GEF monitors existing projects on an ongoing basis. Evaluation activities are a key part of the GEF project cycle and are evaluated using both qualitative and quantitative measures with a focus on outcomes.
