Education changes everything
Education is the driver for sustainable change and So They Can believe that empowering communities through a quality education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle.
Our mission is to provide quality education to children living in poverty through improved learning conditions, teacher training and development, and inclusive partnerships with the community and in-country governments.
If all students in low-income countries left school with basic reading skills, 171 million people could be lifted out of poverty. This is equal to a 12% cut in global poverty.
A child whose mother can read is 50% more likely to live past the age of five.
50% more likely to be immunized, and twice as likely to attend school.
One additional school year can increase a woman’s earning by 10% to 20%.
By 2030, our goal is to change the future for 36,000 children in Africa who, through no fault of their own, are living in poverty.
