United World Schools

Oct 06, 2020

United World Schools currently runs 226 schools across the Far East, including Cambodia and Nepal, all of which closed during the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, in line with government guidance for each country.

Ultimately, children living in poverty were less likely to return to school when they reopened, exacerbating an already urgent learning crisis and widening existing inequalities.

Support from the Randal Charitable Foundation in 2020 enabled United World Schools to continue delivering education to nearly 7,000 students through a distanced learning programme and supported the safe re-opening of schools when restrictions were eased. A further grant was provided in 2022 to support projects which are supporting 200 students to access education in Madagascar.

This involved providing home learning packs for children, ensuring there were additional resources to minimise sharing, delivering virtual teacher training, providing radio lessons and delivering PPE to ensure schools could re-open safely.

This approach aimed to ensure the safety of both teachers and students, whilst continuing to provide a crucial education during this period of disruption; vital to ensuring not only that students did not fall behind in their curriculum, but also to providing them with a source of fun, play and stability.

United World Schools (UWS) works in some of the world's poorest regions to give every child access to free education. They partner with local communities and supporters around the world to teach the unreached.

Their mission is to improve, through education, life opportunities for some of the world's poorest children living in remote and marginalised communities. And their vision is a world in which all children have the chance to go to school.
