Informazioni su Booksopen Foundation (C/O Nicholas Parker)

BooksOpen is motivated by the belief that education is the most unambiguous step towards long-term human security in Africa. We aim to support disadvantaged children over the long-haul of a quality education, and to generate dialogue about and support for improving primary and secondary education in Tanzania. BooksOpen has several core, long-term goals: First and foremost, to send orphaned and other relatively disadvantaged children all the way through boarding school (K-12) in Tanzania, and to forge lasting relationships between students and their supporters Monitor and report on the impacts of our projects through digital media posted to BooksOpen.net, and develop a wider dialogue about the current state and future of education in Africa Partner with boarding schools to help deliver supplies and technical resources to improve education Support the development of curricula that meet the growing challenges in Tanzanian society such as environmental change, economic integration, and democratization Construct transition pre-schools and follow-up placement and monitoring programs for young orphans
