ABOUT US
our purpose
Currently, over 124 million children do not have access to education in this world. Without an education, children fall prey to human trafficking, exploitation, and slavery. Ultimately, they have little to no chance of having a normal life or a hopeful future.
However, based on statistics, educated children are:
- more likely to experience a higher quality of life
- less vulnerable to disease
- less likely to commit crimes
- acquire information and skills that lead to self-respect, healthy values, and increased earning power in the future
Ultimately, they are more likely to contribute to a socially healthy and prosperous society.
Empower Children’s Education Foundation makes it possible for impoverished and marginalized children in Central and Southeast Asia to obtain access to proper and quality education.
We believe when all children have access to a quality education rooted in basic human rights, gender equality, and excellent moral values, it creates a ripple effect of opportunity that positively influences generations to come.
