Education is crucial in helping children break out of desperation and into prosperity.
Education
Approximately 59 million children do not have access to primary education in emerging countries.
Many orphans in developing countries cannot attend school because of poverty, conflict, and other challenges. The barriers they face are daunting. Often, a child has to have a uniform and shoes to be allowed to attend school. The problem is that money to buy the uniforms and shoes isn’t available from their families, further increasing the spiral of poverty for future generations.
Going Beyond Basic Skills
Many must begin work at a young age to support their widowed mothers and younger siblings. They will miss learning basic skills to function and live productive lives. Tree of Life supports giving children access to effective academic and vocational education, which will allow them to break out of generational poverty.
Education is Poverty’s Solution
Increasing children’s skills will have a strong ripple effect on future prosperity. But workplace skills are only one aspect of creating a better-trained workforce. Students from impoverished areas first need to acquire life skills to improve their economic prospects and well-being.
Our Approach
Tree of Life focuses on children and lifts communities through education, enabling young people to gain literacy, which, in turn, opens economic opportunities, a critical step to transforming lives and economies.
Tree of Life for the World believes we have a moral responsibility to honor God’s will to help the world’s poor. It’s often easy to think in the abstract. Yet, all of these widows and children are distinct individuals with hopes and dreams just like ours. Being on the ground with widows, orphans, and members of affected communities is a life-changing experience.
We provide high-quality preschool through high-school education. Additionally, TOL supports vocational training. In addition, we ensure books, supplies, educational toys, and any other aids at our disposal to sustain children in school, by giving a hand up, not a handout. In addition, we empower their parents and hope to raise a generation of generous Christians empowered with skills that take their families and communities to a prosperous tomorrow.
Give Generously
Invest in children’s education and create a bright future for communities struggling today. At Tree of Life, we do everything necessary to give children good schools in areas where obstacles restrict access. We build and repair schools and provide supplies, books, and technology to children and teachers in these areas. We also offer scholarships and mentorship programs to give these kids the necessary resources to succeed.
