We open Schools in emergency situations to protect childhood.

Where there is
Education
there is Hope.

Our Emergency and Rehabilitation Schools, officially named Academies, were created to offer holistic support to children and families in the most complicated settings around the globe. They respond to an immediate need, that of survival, and then restore the right to childhood and dignity. Through accelerated learning, they redeem children from the streets, child labor and crime, reintegrating them into the formal school system of the country they live in and freeing them from poverty in all its forms.

  • Precision

    The Accelerated Learning Program enables our students to make up for lost school years.

  • Inclusion

    Through our holistic approach of food and health support, we support entire families.

  • Retention

    95% of children freed from the mines in DR Congo continue their studies after the first year.

  • Success

    96% of children coming from IDP camps in Syria graduate from our Program.
