We’re Reshaping the Landscape of Global Education
We believe every child should have access to quality education. We create schools, programs and global communities around the common goal of education for all. 100% of online donations go to PoP programs.
What Makes Us Different
Transparency is more than a buzzword—it’s one of our core values. It enables us to share results and adjust accordingly. Real-time data informs our strategy. Knowing when something is not achieving the desired results allows us to pivot and build upon successful outcomes.
Direct Giving
Donors rarely know where their money goes, so we set out to change this. By covering our operational costs through private donors, events and companies, 100% of every dollar donated online goes directly into our programs to educate more children.
Local Leadership
All of our country directors are from the countries they lead. This ensures our ability to respond to each country’s strengths and challenges in an authentic way.
Operational Integrity
We don’t just build a school and move on; we monitor and evaluate every project we undertake. We have a proactive process to ensure every school we open is educating students.
Diversity & Inclusion
Pencils of Promise can empower communities through education, growth, and development when all levels of staff conduct themselves with openness and honesty. We accomplish this through the establishment and consistent review of a strategic framework, and commit to holding one another accountable to our values, vision and justice for marginalized populations.
