Style and Substance

Visions seeks to change patterns of inequality by supporting educational initiatives for youth affected by poverty and conflict.

Nearly 30 years of conflict in Sri Lanka has left millions of young people destitute, without access to jobs, schools, and even basic needs like food and shelter. The war is now over, but a long process of recovery and development burdens a society which has lost most of its qualified teachers, schools, leaders, and professionals.

In India, poverty remains the leading source of educational deprivation among children. Additionally, social hierarchies and gender discrimination prevent many young people from realizing their potential to participate as educated, active citizens in a fast-changing society. Visions is determined to help address these challenges and work to create a world where all youth, teachers, and communities are educated, empowered and uplifted.
