Ann Foundation

WHO THEY ARE Education creates independence that inspires confidence and brings peace. At the Ann Foundation, an NGO for eduation, they aspire to bring the basic right of education to children and young people around the world. They believe that education creates a better tomorrow for everyone. Poverty, disability, gender discrimination, child labor, slavery are all hurdles that keep children from receiving an education. Once they are excluded from the school system, these children face ever-increasing challenges to their future success. Education brings hope to these children. Hope that they can someday have decent jobs, become contributing members of their society, and have a better quality of life. Join them in bringing education, a basic human right, to to the underprivileged kids and youth they serve so they can realize their potential; not just because they deserve it, but because their children are their future. THEIR MISSION Their Mission is to empower disadvantaged children through progressive education. Ann Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization creating permanent positive change in the world. Guided by the belief that every child deserves an equal right to education, they provide online and on-the-ground literacy solutions to less fortunate children and youth and those with disabilities. In developing countries, the Foundation focuses on providing programs to kids who might not otherwise get an opportunity to develop their inherent talent, either because of their disability, gender or socio-economic status. They envision a world where every disadvantaged child has access to basic education. All their efforts are geared towards helping shape young lives for tomorrow. They work with trusted locally based, schools and grassroots organizations to build sustainable outcomes for young people around the world.
