Supporting education to give young people the opportunity to dream. Download the Fact Sheet >>
Throughout the developing world, education faces the dual challenges of poor quality and limited access, compounded by extreme poverty, displacement, and other factors. Strengthening teaching and learning and providing alternative pathways to formal education can offer a lifeline for marginalized children, their families, and their communities. Our team is passionate about overcoming education challenges. Whether you seek support in the design of an education initiative or in full-on program implementation, we can help.
Geneva Global believes that high-quality, relevant education is a basic human right, one that provides children and youth in all circumstances. Achieving this requires action by actors across society and the international community. Most critical to reaching this goal are effective teachers. Therefore, we work diligently and creatively to support international funders and national education systems and their partners to equip, support, and entrust all teachers to capably, confidently, and consistently design and deliver lessons that bring the curriculum to life, aiming to foster the knowledge and skills students need for fulfilled lives and livelihoods and lifelong learning.
We stand ready to contribute to your organization’s education giving goals in one or more of the following ways:
Educating for fulfillment in life and livelihood requires more than content memorization and test taking. We can help transform education with curricula that instill students in 21st century skills and with pedagogic methods that engage teachers actively and creatively to use curriculum to cultivate these skills.
Parents are vital to children’s school success. Our model mobilizes and strengthens parental participation, building their knowledge and skills for economic and social empowerment to create conditions for greater learning for their children at home and in school.
Achieving better education outcomes does not happen at a ministry or in a classroom alone. We can help you invest in improvements to an education system’s critical “plumbing” at all levels and for its many functions—e.g., training, curriculum, supervision, and others—and in orchestrating effective connections across these many functions.
Drawing on our experience with the Speed School program, we can help you find and implement solutions to help children who have missed out on formal education for whatever reason—poverty, gender, disability, displacement, or other causes—transition into formal education and thrive there through an accelerated learning opportunity.
Our work with Geneva Global has been a true partnership, which has made it extremely rewarding and impactful. Geneva Global has taken the time to understand the novel approaches we’re experimenting with, and rather than oversimplifying our objectives to replicate something they’ve done before, have collaborated closely with us to design and adaptively manage engagements that achieve our goals. The quality of our thinking and execution has greatly benefitted from the depth of experience, insight, and camaraderie they have brought to our work together.
