Educational Reform

Educational Reform for Micronesia!

“Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.”- Kofi Anan, former U.N. Secretary GeneralEducational reform is urgently necessary throughout FSM, but more so in the outer islands. Like a failing heart that needs CPR, the outer islands of Chuuk, Micronesia need innovative ideas to solve deep rooted educational problems. Our goal is to empower a new generation of leaders to improve educational output in the most impoverished communities.

Educational Outreach Project

We focus especially on the outer island communities of Micronesia which are at the greatest disadvantage due to inaccessibility to educational resources. Our approach centers around global partnerships with individuals, organizations, schools, businesses to lead programs and services aimed at helping children in the developing outer island communities of Micronesia.

A Micronesia in which children in the most impoverished local island communities have the resources and committed teachers  who can help empower them to help themselves.
