We’re a global community that believes everyone deserves access to quality education. We’re reshaping the landscape of education.

Teacher Support 

The Teacher Support program equips teachers with innovative methodologies and age-appropriate, dynamic materials to enhance the national curriculum. PoP unites teachers through collective workshops where skills are introduced and practiced and then provides support through one-on-one coaching sessions where skills are reinforced and discussed. PoP strives to increase student literacy outcomes by providing teachers with new methodologies, engaging materials, and ongoing, individualized support.

WASH 

Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) programs are globally-recognized efforts that, when implemented at the school level, provide a safe and healthy environment for students by decreasing students’ risk of illness and, ultimately, giving them the opportunity to be more present in the classroom. Our WASH program is straightforward: provide the infrastructure (e.g., toilets), distribute water filters, and educate students and communities on healthy behaviors (e.g., handwashing). These interventions are supported by global evidence to make a lasting and meaningful impact in the communities we serve.

Going Beyond the Build 

We build quality infrastructure in order to provide students with learning environments that have adequate space and materials to foster learning. All PoP partner schools are public primary schools owned and operated by government entities and community members. We partner with local Ministries of Education to identify communities with a high need for investment in infrastructure. We work closely with each community to understand their specific needs and support them in securing their (up to) 20% contribution to the project, in either labor or materials. Together, we build new classroom blocks over the course of 3-8 months (depending on the country) and remain connected with communities over time to fulfill our commitment to the partnership.
