Winrock increases access to safe, equitable and quality education by addressing systemic, cultural, and other barriers that prevent the most marginalized children and youth from learning. Working directly with children and youth, communities, local partners and governments, we strengthen resilience and improve education systems’ sustainability through locally-defined and locally-led approaches. Winrock programs help to open and expand pathways to diverse learning opportunities and safeguard children and youth from child labor, gender-based violence and violent extremism. We promote quality learning and improved student retention by partnering with teachers and school administrators for increased professional development, expanding the availability of improved teaching and learning materials in low-resource contexts, and ensure dynamic community engagement.
