BUILDON GLOBAL - SINCE 1991, BUILDON HAS MOBILIZED RURAL VILLAGES IN SOME OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD, TO BUILD MORE THAN 2,024 SCHOOLS (WITH 220 BUILT IN 2021) IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS: BOLIVIA (8), BRAZIL (2), BURKINA FASO (140), HAITI (182), INDIA (3), MALAWI (410), MALI (384), NEPAL (300), NICARAGUA (279), SENEGAL (268), GUATEMALA (47), AND US (1). MANY OF THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE WORK CONSISTENTLY RANK AMONG THE LOWEST ON THE UNITED NATION'S HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX, WHERE SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION AND COMMUNITY EDUCATION ARE VITAL TO LONG-TERM HEALTH, ECONOMIC GROWTH AND SUSTAINABILITY. BUILDON ENGAGES IN PARTICIPATORY DEVELOPMENT, CREATING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES WHO HAVE OWNERSHIP OVER THE PROJECTS. THE TRUE POWER OF BUILDON'S METHODOLOGY RESIDES IN THE FACT THAT BUILDON CLASSROOMS ARE CONSTRUCTED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE VERY PEOPLE WHO WILL BE BENEFITING FROM THEM. WHEN BUILDON ENTERS NEW COUNTRIES AND REGIONS, IT BECOMES A RESOURCE FOR COMMUNITIES WHO WANT TO PROVIDE QUALITY EDUCATION FOR THEIR STUDENTS. LOCAL COMMUNITIES INITIATE EACH PROJECT AND OWN THE SCHOOL, AND THE MINISTRIES OF EDUCATION AGREE TO PROVIDE TEACHERS AND CURRICULUM. ADDITIONALLY, BUILDON'S ADULT LITERACY PROGRAM GIVES PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS THE EDUCATION THEY NEED TO BUILD A BETTER LIFE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR CHILDREN. EACH DAY, MORE THAN 252,525 CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND GRANDPARENTS ARE ATTENDING BUILDON SCHOOLS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF A NEW ACCESS TO EDUCATION.
