If you really want to help someone out of poverty, the best way is to help educate them. There is NO hope without education! Learning Tools for Global Schools is an organization that directly supplies impoverished schools worldwide with basic school supplies. Many children only get their school supplies once a year. When those are used up, there are no more. In some countries, children cannot attend school if they don’t have their own uniforms or supplies.

 In 2008, while visiting Dessie, Ethiopia, we saw firsthand that kids in school had to share pens while doing class work.  As retired grandparents, we couldn’t build schools or afford to give furniture and computers, but we could certainly give pencils, pens, books and other learning materials. We have seen that by giving each classroom the basic materials that a teacher needs, every child in a village can attend school. To date, we are impacting over 6000 elementary school children in Ethiopia, the Philippines, Mexico and Haiti. These children now have an opportunity to become educated citizens and help their countries rise above poverty.

It doesn’t take a lot of money to make a better future for all of us. As one little boy said to us, “I just want to learn, but I need a paper and pencil, please.” You can help make this happen. You may make a donation in any amount, or you can send materials directly to Learning Tools for Global Schools. All items received are put to use in one of our many schools worldwide.
