EveryWhere Schools
NGO education in emergency situations
Our main purpose is to promote access to education for all children and adolescents living in emergency and humanitarian crises.
In crisis contexts it is common to think that education is not a priority. However, education is fundamental to improving the health, safety and well-being of children and families, improving their present and providing opportunities for the future.
We are a young organization with a clear vocation for working together with local communities in the design and development of educational programs, which are implemented by local teachers, and are characterized by being culturally and contextually sensitive, as well as permanence and sustainability.
Our current project
The EWS team is involved in the design of an educational project on the southern border of Mexico. Thousands of families are leaving their countries to reach the U.S., finding it necessary to cross Mexico to reach their destination. Among all the people in transit there are more than 10,000 children unaccompanied by an adult. This mass transit situation causes many of them to remain for weeks or months in the same place.
During this time, most of them do not have access to any kind of education. At EveryWhere Schools we want to provide pedagogical spaces where they can learn and have fun, thus avoiding situations of marginalization and violence. Through different didactic activities, art, sports and emotional and psychosocial education, we want them to simply be children during the time they participate in our projects at such a difficult time in their lives.

Thanks to you we will be able to work to provide education where it is most needed. We invest more than 80% of the funds raised in educational projects in the field and use the remaining 20% to create an emergency fund – which will allow us to act quickly in case of an emergency – and to cover the organization’s operating expenses.
You choose the amount and frequency of the installment. It all adds up! If you believe in education as an engine of change and want to contribute to a young and committed organization, become a member and be part of this beautiful project.
WHY COLLABORATE WITH EWS?

It is a human right and a priority Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations 2030 Agenda. However, only 2% of international cooperation funds are allocated to education.
We have a community vision
Our approach to work is community-based. We integrate citizen agents and movements to respond to their needs and strengthen development, sustainability and local autonomy.
