Education has the power to transform the lives of individuals and invigorate communities. That is why we are working to ensure that everyone has access to inclusive, quality education and lifelong learning opportunities.

Our Priority: Education

Education is the most powerful tool to break the fateful cycle of poverty, inequality and exclusion and has been a pillar of the Jesuits’ work since 1540. 

That is why we support local partners in their efforts to ensure inclusive, quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. We support education projects at the margin of exclusion, inclusive education proposals, and teacher training initiatives.

Types of programs and projects we support include:

  • Education at the Margins
    • Early Childhood Education
    • Formal Primary and Secondary Education
    • Citizenship and Peace Education
    • Physical and Mental Health Programs
  • Inclusive Education
    • Girls Education
    • Special Needs Education
    • Distance Education (i.e. radio education)
  • Teacher Training
