Education

Education is the key to improving the future of people living in developing countries. With a proper education, children can learn the tools to alleviate poverty, improve their family’s economic situation and eliminate disease. Sadly, many children face barriers to receiving the education they deserve. Over 100 million children of primary school age around the world do not attend school. Girls are excluded from education more often than boys.

Hands Across the Nations focuses on improving education in two main areas: infrastructure and resources. By building classrooms and dormitories, HATN has allowed children in developing communities to receive their education in a high-quality, safe environment. As well, HATN supports teachers by providing educational materials, books, school supplies and training in a variety of areas, including water, sanitation and hygiene practices. This ensures the children receive the best quality education possible and an improved quality of life.
