We have so far managed to get more than 10.000 of the poorest children into education: all completing at lest basic education, most, primary, many, seondary. Some have even gone on to earn university degrees.
We have been able to achieve this through the dedicted and cretive involvement of more than 2,000 volunteers, a talented staff of more than 800 (over time), generous donations of materials and funds (mostly unsolicited). Thankyou to all of youl.

OKay, it is one thing to offer to educate a poor woman's children, but if she cannot afford to lose their small income (because most very poor children must work to survive), then we must first help her earn more herself. Thist we have done: trained and micro financed 100s of poor women - most bwcame successful micro-entrepreneurs. CLICK

 
We co-ordinated university students, the press and lots of volunteers + our own students to pressure Governments to include the unregistered, poorest 25% of their children in the state education system. CLICK
[NOTE] In 2009, The Gov't of Peru invited us to collaborate with the Ministry of Education in most Peruvian cities, setting up informal schools such as ours, which they would then operate. Plus they offered to staff our schools in Lima, Cusco and Chiclayo. [From one day to next we went from pest to partner] "Mission Accomplished".
We served 10s of 1000s of meals, gave 100s of dental & medical clinics.
We got them online (where Internet existed) some even learned to code.
Regular sports, Arts & Culture, tons of clothes, plus lots of fun outings
