OPEN SCHOOLS WORLDWIDE INC

Poverty, dysfunctional family life, abuse, malnutrition, death of parents, and abandonment put many children around the world at risk. Such children are powerless to alter their exposure to these life hazards and have difficulty in getting access to basic education, fail to succeed in their schooling or drop out of school prematurely. OSWW has developed a “School-in-a-Bag” to help these children learn. The “bag” includes teachers’ guides, audio materials and teaching equipment, children’s workbooks, knee desks, wind-up MP3 player, and the training, support and quality control of volunteers. We work through partners in South Africa, Swaziland and Zimbabwe
