  • REACH Program

    THROUGH REACH (RURAL EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY HARMONY), WE BRING SCHOOLS AND RESOURCES TO RURAL COMMUNITIES IN SOME OF THE WORLDS ECONOMICALLY POOREST COUNTRIES, HARNESSING THE POWER OF EDUCATION TO EMPOWER ALL CHILDREN TO HAVE A VOICE IN THE WORLD. WITH 34 SCHOOLS IN 8 DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, WE'VE PROVIDED THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN WITH ACCESS TO EDUCATION, HELPING TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND ILLITERACY. WORKING SIDE-BY-SIDE WITH THE COMMUNITY, WE IDENTIFY REMAINING BARRIERS TO EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS AND WORK TO IMPLEMENT SUPPORTING, WRAPAROUND SERVICES SUCH AS CLEAN WATER, SUSTAINABLE FARMING, SCHOOL MEAL PROGRAMS, AND SOLAR POWER. IN 2023, WITH THE HELP OF OUR YOUTH AMBASSADORS, WE BUILT OUR 34TH SCHOOL BRINGING EDUCATION TO AN INDIGENOUS MAYAN COMMUNITY IN THE HIGHLANDS OF GUATEMALA.
