How Educate2Envision Is Making a Difference

Operating with a philosophy that education takes place beyond a classroom, E2E helps first-generation secondary school students use their education to tackle poverty in their communities.

Students in teams collaborate on projects that address illiteracy, access to clean water, deforestation, elder care, and healthcare.  In this way, they learn how to conduct research on critical community issues; analyze needs using assessment tools and other methods; develop skills that prepare them to become future leaders in their communities; and gain confidence that helps them launch small businesses.
