The Partner School Strategy

Inspired by Haitians

The partner school strategy was inspired by a sustainable education model developed by a Haitian grassroots organization in a remote area of Haiti. We work with schools strong in leadership but lacking in resources. Together with them we develop an accord and work plan for accompanying them over the course of a number of years. During this time we build capacity through training, school infrastructure improvements, and support efforts to create a social business or other entrepreneurial venture to help them along the road toward long-term financial independence.
