Through some research I have found some organiztions that are doing a great job at improving education worldwide, and wanted to share.
1goal.net- “1GOAL is a campaign seizing the power of football to ensure that education for all is a lasting impact of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Raising our voices all over the world we believe that, together, we can make education a reality for the millions of boys and girls who remain out of school.”
This is a great organization because they are using something like soccer,which many children in Latin America love,to promote education
one.org- One is probably one of the most recognizables campaigns out there. They bring awareness to social issues like HIV/AIDs, maternal and child health, climate and education.
Pies descalzos- is a foundation created by Colombian pop-star Shakira to help create opportunities for the children of Colombia.

CEPROD- this is an organization in my native country of Honduras that works with the Federacion Espanola, to build schools in remote areas of the country. I’ve had the opportunity to be at some of these center and seen the work CEPROD is doing first hand. My aunt actually runs this organization and several of my family memebers work there. So this one is near and dear to my heart, and one of the reasons I am so passionate about education, as I grew up going to the many projects CEPROD was involved in.
