Knowledge For Life

Education is a right, but 258 million young people aren’t attending school, according to UNESCO. And two-thirds of illiterate adults are women. If current trends continue, by 2030, almost a billion young people will not have the skills they need to work and build lives for themselves.

Education enables us to turn our natural curiosity into the foundation of a better future. Humanity First USA’s schools and vocational centers create high-quality educational opportunities for children and adults that helps fulfill this promise for themselves, their families, and their communities.

In our most ambitious project yet, we aim to educate over 15,000 students each year by establishing 25 more schools by 2025.

Humanity First Schools

The Knowledge for Life program builds new schools, upgrades existing ones, and furnishes computer labs. Our highly-ranked schools are safe and inclusive environments for all children. And Humanity First is committed to building schools in areas where there are none. In fact, our most recent schools in Liberia and Mali are the only ones in the area that are within several hours’ journey.

Humanity First Skilling Centers

Beyond primary school education, Humanity First also trains people to embark on a wide variety of careers through our vocational centers. Students build skills for careers that are in demand where they live, like sewing & tailoring, IT, catering, electrical work, or driving. Over 1,000 people have graduated from vocational courses in Mali, Liberia, Burkina Faso, and Guyana.

Building of new schools and vocational training centres, refurbishment of existing facilities, and empowerment of teachers and students to enable more children and youth to attain qualifications and to get themselves out of poverty.
Humanity First focuses on building and operating schools and vocational training centres to empower children to have a meaningful learning experience.

Our Knowledge for Life Programme

Everyone has the right to an education. We aim to eliminate disparities in education and create equal educational opportunities for children and adults.

According to UNESCO, around 75 million children do not attend school, with classrooms upto 50 students per one teacher. Literacy rates are around 50% in development countries. Millions of children do not have access to simple education. Without a quality education, children are less likely to escape their socioeconomic disparities. It is important for Humanity First to implement education systems in places that do not have a learning model for children.

We ensure that children get the care and support they need to go to school. By helping build a strong foundation at a young age, we are decreasing the chance of the poverty cycle.
