WSF Village Teacher Training (教师培训项目)
$300 of $300 donated

Gansu, China

Lack of education in the rural villages lead to systemic poverty. The lack of education is due to the fact that teachers do not have adequate training to provide high quality education to its students. The program breaks the cycle. In providing teachers with adequate training, it can help decrease the gap in education between the cities and rural villages. Plan: 1. Every year from March to May, September to November, with the help of Givology and local partners, we will send passionate, local village education teachers to designated teaching locations. The focus is on organized training for English and Art teachers, two curriculums that lack support and exploration. 2. The purpose of the training is to develop and increase the teacher’s professional and teaching abilities and also encourage interactions among the teachers. 3.

Light for Learning
$500 of $500 donated

Kampala, Uganda

Project Purpose : The main purpose of this project is to provide electric lights to Peace School - its 10 classrooms, office, and dormitories.  Because Uganda’s feeble electric grid does not reach the school, this project is part of a larger commitment to generate onsite electricity and biogas from sun, wind, and waste materials. A hybrid renewable energy system will be installed with enough capacity to meet both the needs of the school and nearby neighbors, thus creating a potential revenue stream for this private school. An applied curriculum will be developed to introduce children to the fundamentals of power generation and maintenance of renewable energy systems.  The students will share responsibilities for servicing and maintaining the energy systems.  In turn, they can help their families and community members develop the capacity to operate onsite renewable energy systems as they become available. Providing modern energy generated via renewable resources...
