Education as the Engine of Liberation
The Cause That Unites Us
The Global Education Emergency:
-
 1 in 3 children never attends secondary school (UNICEF 2023)  
 Rural classrooms average 80 students per teacher -
 60% of youth lack employable skills after graduation
This isn’t just poverty—it’s stolen potential.
Mission and Vision
MISSION STATEMENT
At The Children of Grace Foundation, we are committed to transforming lives through high-quality education. Our mission is to establish and sustain Schools of Excellence that provide children—especially those from underserved and marginalized communities—with a strong educational foundation, personal development opportunities, and the support needed to reach their full potential.
VISION STATEMENT
At The Children of Grace Foundation, we envision a future where education is the cornerstone of thriving communities, driving sustainable development, social progress, and collective empowerment. We believe that every child, regardless of socioeconomic background, deserves access to high-quality education that equips them with the knowledge, skills, and values needed to shape their own destinies and contribute meaningfully to society.
How We Fight Back
We target the root causes of educational injustice:
Systemic Barriers
– Building low-cost, high-impact Schools of Excellence in neglected communities
– Training local teachers in trauma-informed, gender-responsive pedagogy
Generational Poverty
– “Earn-While-You-Learn” vocational programs for teens and parents
– Microloan partnerships for graduate entrepreneurs
Cultural Inequity
– Girls’ Leadership Academies with STEM focus
– Community dialogues to shift norms on child labor/early marriage

Why Education
“When you educate a girl in Zambia, you don’t just change her GPA—you change her future children’s lifespans, her village’s economy, and her nation’s climate resilience.”
— Dr. Nkandu Luo, Zambian Education Minister (2016-2021)
