Pencils of Promise was founded in 2008 with $25 and a dream. What started as one school in 2009 quickly spread across the world—a global movement fueled by the mission of education for all.

Since then, we have built 589 schools across Ghana, Guatemala and Laos, and we are currently providing more than 230,000 students with access to quality education.

PoP’s impact collectively reaches more than 875,000 students, teachers, parents, and communities around the world and we’re just getting started.
