UWS USA celebrates #Internationalyouthday! A staggering 244 million children are not enrolled in formal education, approximately 387 million primary school-age children, and 230 million lower-secondary school-age adolescents are not achieving minimum proficiency levels in reading and mathematics. UWS envisions a world where every child can reach their full potential through education. Since 2008, we have enrolled over 65,000 students in the countries we serve. We are also working to identify at-risk students of early school dropout and provide tailored interventions to support student retention. 5,479 young people have been supported by the Dropout Prevention Project in UWS schools across Cambodia and Nepal! 📚
About us
Education transforms lives. United World Schools, USA (UWS USA) works in some of the world's poorest regions to give every child a free education. We partner with local communities and supporters worldwide to teach the unreached. Our sustainable approach is changing the face of primary education in remote areas of South Asia. We currently have over 310 schools open across Cambodia, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Nepal, teaching over 64,000 children to read, write, and count.

Without access to quality education, healthcare, employment, and culture, young people around the world can’t reach their full potential to create change. Join us and raise your voice to promote their rights and opportunities for a brighter and more sustainable future. 12 August is #YouthDay: https://lnkd.in/gTunCqe
