Government

Our work with governments helps us achieve systems-level change across the communities we serve. We work hand in hand with local and national governments to integrate our scalable learning models into public education systems, and drive multi-sector reforms and budget priorities through evidence-based engagement. We align with government priorities, to strengthen policy, build teacher capacity, and long-term sustainability.

Community Partners

Communities are at the heart of everything we do. Parents, caregivers, educators, and local leaders not only help us identify children most in need but also co-own the process of transforming education. Through their active involvement, from school management committees to mentorship and psychosocial support, our programs are grounded in trust, cultural relevance, and sustainability.

Become a Partner

We design partnerships that combine resources, expertise and local ownership so investments translate directly into learning, health, and long-term scale. Every partnership is co-created, rigorously monitored, and reported back with project-level results, stories, and proof of impact.

Library & Innovation Lab

Every Green Academy includes a library, STEM and Innovation lab, giving children access to books, technology, and digital resources. This opens doors to coding, research, and global learning experiences that prepare them for the future.

8

Biogas Systems

Waste from the school is converted into biogas through a clean, closed-loop system. This provides safe cooking energy and powers the backup generator – reducing pollution, improving sanitation, and teaching children about renewable energy in action.

 
7

Full Annual Scholarships

Each Green Academy provides 250+ underserved children with free, high-quality education. Scholarships cover tuition and also books, meals, healthcare, psychosocial support, and skills development, ensuring every child has the tools to thrive.

6

Open-Air Design

Classrooms are designed with circular, open-air structures that maximize natural airflow and light. This reduces heat, lowers energy use, and creates healthier learning environments, without the need for costly air conditioning.

 
5

Rainwater Systems

Green Academies are built with rooftop rainwater collection systems. Rainwater is stored, filtered, and treated to provide safe drinking water for students, teachers, and the wider community-improving health and reducing time spent fetching water.

4

Gardens & Biodiversity

Outdoor gardens and biodiversity spaces make learning hands-on and holistic. Children grow food, study ecosystems, and learn sustainable
agriculture. These green spaces also support nutrition programs, providing fresh produce for students.

3

Satellite Internet

For many communities, Green Academies provide their very first internet connection. Through satellite technology, children gain access to digital learning, global knowledge, and virtual mentorship. It also connects teachers and families to new opportunities and resources.

 
2

Solar Power

Every Green Academy runs fully on clean solar energy. This ensures classrooms, labs, and digital tools stay powered without reliance on
unstable grids or generators. With solar, learning continues seamlessly, even at night or during power cuts.
