Motivated by our Christian faith, we are committed to responding to the educational needs of children who are shut out of the traditional school system or are at risk of educational failure for reasons beyond their control. We aim at developing compassionate relationships and a supportive environment to overcome obstacles to learning.

Extreme poverty, neglect, dysfunctional families, abuse, abandonment, death of parents and malnutrition put vast numbers of children around the world at risk.

They often become street children, orphans, working children, and child-headed “families”.

These children are powerless to alter their exposure to these life hazards, and generally have difficulty in getting access to basic education.

Open Schools Worldwide seeks to help disadvantaged children break out of the vicious cycle of poverty that they find themselves trapped in by providing them with a basic education.
