How we work

There’s a $200 billion funding gap for education every year in low and lower-middle income countries. Since our start, we’ve believed we should help where the need for schooling is the greatest, so we partner with local organizations in developing countries to help kids learn for the first time.

Local-first, always.

With a local-first mindset, we provide grants to education projects around the world, helping more kids attend school. We believe local leaders know their communities best, so we provide them with the support they need to help increase access to education.

Discovery

Our local partners evaluate their communities based on the lack of education, poverty, infrastructure, and community involvement to select ideal sites for education projects.

Implementation

On top of the construction of education projects, local partners spend months engaging the community, encouraging school enrollment, and recruiting the necessary staff to operate them upon completion.

Post-monitoring

To ensure education projects stay open for generations to come, our local partners hire leaders from the community to teach, guide operations, collect data, conduct maintenance, and oversee their successful performance.

LOCAL PARTNER HIGHLIGHT

Project Yesu is a charity working to support children and their families

Project Yesu has uplifted children in Uganda and their families through life-changing support, like food and medical care, for over a decade. In 2014, they noticed an education gap — since schools in Uganda are not free, many families can’t afford to pay for their kids’ tuition. So, Project Yesu began a scholarship program that’s currently helping over 300 children attend a distant boarding school. To help kids learn closer to home, Project Yesu purchased two acres of land in the village of Musima and began planning to build their first school in 2019. We’re beyond excited to partner with Project Yesu to help fund this education project and help up to 700 kids learn.

What are local partners?

They’re the local organizations in developing countries we partner with that lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of education projects. They understand their communities best to build and operate successful education projects after we help fund them. Local partners can be locally-created nonprofits or international NGOs with a local presence.

Why is it important for dream: success to work with local partners?

Our vetted local partners have a keen understanding of their communities and have earned the trust of the families and children they serve over years of service. Thanks to their commitment and experience, we are confident investing in local organizations is the best way to create sustainable development.

How does dream: success select local partners?

Above all else, dream: success looks for partners that advance our ambition to bring quality education to every child on the planet. We take the time to talk with potential partners to evaluate their approach to education projects and if we share a commitment to high-value and transparent work. Each local partner must have the capacity and resources to implement and routinely report on education projects with sustainability in mind.

What are the responsibilities of local partners?

Our local partners understand bringing education to their communities requires close listening and collaboration with families, teachers, leaders, governments, and businesses. In addition to providing education directly, our partners can help children have other resources that indirectly support their education, like adequate sanitation facilities, food, medical care, and counseling. Lastly, they are transparent and accountable to their work and share reports or updates with us openly.

Why do you work internationally?

This is a great question we get often, so you can learn more here. The short answer is education is the key to solving the greatest issues facing our global community, like poverty and inequality, and the greatest need is in developing countries.
