Mission Statement
School for a Village is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to bridging the gap in science and technology education through need-specific support. We work with secondary schools around the world to promote digital inclusion and quality education. We recognize each school exists within its own unique social and cultural context, and therefore may face unique challenges. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. As a result, we work very closely with individual schools and community members to assess a school’s needs. We believe that the people living in our target communities know best what their communities need - so we develop and implement solutions together. We hope to amplify existing solutions and programs, and ensure that we are getting them to where they are needed most.
