   Mission StatementEdify’s mission is to improve and expand sustainable, Christ-centered education globally.The NeedHundreds of millions of children in the developing world have either no school available to them or only a dysfunctional public school available. Research shows that low-fee, independent schools provide much better student learning outcomes. Our Work Edify was founded in September 2009. We identify privately owned Christ-centered schools, which provide solid education for children in their poor communities in a sustainable way. We operate in: Burkina Faso, Dominican Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, Liberia, Peru and Rwanda. We then support these schools by offering these four elements that, we believe, bring about the best transformation in our partner schools: • Capital in the form of loans to improve and expand schools• Training for the school proprietors to run their schools effectively• Christ-centered curriculum accompanied with training for the teachers• Teaching English, through education technology platforms when possible These schools charge monthly tuition fees to cover operating costs and pay the debt service on the loan used for school improvements and expansion. Once the original capital outlay has been repaid, it will be lent again to improve and expand additional schools. Schools around the world receive funding, create jobs and add long-term economic, social and spiritual value to their communities.
