PHILANTHROPY
ON YOUR TERMS
Whether it’s giving a large donation or contributing your talent or influence, there are many ways for people with resources or skills to accelerate our mission towards zero education poverty. However you choose to make your philanthropic contribution, we’ll maximize its illiteracy-combating, poverty-defeating, and discrimination-beating potential. As a UWS philanthropist, we will keep you updated on our work and ensure you see the full impact of your giving. Your philanthropic gift could also unlock additional funding from larger grantmakers, exponentially amplifying the impact of your generosity.

Our model is low cost, high impact and sustainable
Unrestricted donations contribute to our most impactful programs. For $150K, we can build, develop, and run a school in a new community for seven years (after which it will transition to local control). In UWS communities, a major donation can be life-changing for years.
Building schools is only one part of what your funds will support
So far, we’ve built more than 310 schools, but our work is about more than increasing this number. It’s about supporting and empowering communities to challenge the cultural barriers preventing more children from entering and staying in education. It’s about working with authorities to raise the standards of learning experiences and find sustainable access to clean water, sanitation, and energy so UWS schools can continue to evolve and grow way beyond our involvement.
