Educate For Opportunity Institute Details
Educate for Opportunity (EFO) partners with marginalized and vulnerable people in their quest for education, freedom, empowerment and dignity by mobilizing human, academic, intellectual and financial resources to meet the needs of the educationally disadvantaged. We provide training, consultation and technical assistance in formal and informal educational initiatives around the world. We believe in partnering with organizations around the world that share our philosophy and commitment to our essential pillars of programming. Partnering allows us to accomplish greater work, establish accountability, strengthen our voice, and access/share additional resources and expertise. We take the time to understand how individuals and communities view their worlds, how they perceive outside change agents, and how local community members work together to build autonomy. We believe that women and children need advocates—people who care about them and are willing to speak out and work on their behalf. Making a commitment to women and children and translating that commitment into action is essential. We believe in and promote community-based transformation by providing vital information and training about life and livelihoods that can be put to immediate use to promote not just individual change but also collective change within a community. We believe fervently in the value of education. Education serves as an entry point to most other life fulfilling opportunities. In fact the educational achievement of women and children, in particular, can have ripple effects within the family and across generations. We believe that investing in education is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, and it yields immeasurable dividends economically, socially, cognitively and physically. Stretching one's mind through education is a gift for a lifetime and beyond. We support the development of many types of indigenous NGOs and CBOs to achieve long-term, sustainable results.
