2026 Empower Futures One Step At a Time
Empower Education gives underprivileged children in Myanmar, Pakistan, and Thailand access to quality education — and with it, a way out of poverty.
Without school, these children face a far higher risk of trafficking, exploitation, and a future with no real options.
Every child we educate is safer, healthier, and equipped with the skills to build a better life — breaking the cycle of poverty not just for themselves, but for generations to come.
Empower Education isn't charity. It's opportunity, delivered.
This September 20, 2026, we're taking that mission to the streets.
Empower Education's Founder will run a full marathon — 26.2 miles — and a team of runners will tackle various distances to raise funds for our students.
We invite you to be part of it. We run, you give, and children's lives are changed forever.
Let's make a difference together.
Worldwide Impact
Focus Areas
Myanmar
After 50 years of military dictatorship, Myanmar (formerly Burma) suffers from numerous internal conflicts. Their school system is extremely discriminatory and requires students to take fee-paying classes, making them inaccessible to the poorest young people.
Pakistan
In Pakistan a low percentage of the national budget goes to education, resulting in a lack of necessary facilities, materials, and teacher training programs - especially in rural areas. Many children in these areas are unable to attend school.
Thailand
Thailand's school system is in a crisis and needs to move into the 21st century because the curriculum is outdated and inadequate. Rural schools and students suffer from a lack of funding and resources. Marginalized groups have additional challenges in competing for teachers and supplies.
