ACCESS TO EDUCATION: IT REMAINS THE SINGLE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON AGAINST POVERTY
But beyond this lies every human being’s right to access their true potential in life. Education is at the heart of almost everything we do at GoPhil. We believe that everyone should have access to quality education and the tools needed to learn, empower oneself and contribute to humanity.
Our education campaigns range from meaningful, personal student sponsorship programs, to building, repairing or equipping classrooms, support for vocational programs, or providing bikes to get to school.
