Founded in 2007 by a group of passionate individuals, SFMV believes that every child, regardless of background or circumstances, has the right to quality education. With this unwavering belief, the organization has established over 250 schools in 15 countries, reaching thousands of students who would otherwise lack access to educational opportunities.

The Power of Education

Education is not merely the acquisition of knowledge and skills; it is a catalyst for personal growth, social mobility, and economic empowerment. SFMV recognizes this transformative power and strives to provide its students with a holistic education that encompasses academic, social, and emotional development.

In SFMV schools, students engage in interactive and engaging lessons that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. They learn essential literacy and numeracy skills, as well as subjects that equip them for success in the 21st century, such as science, technology, and global citizenship.

Community-Driven Solutions

SFMV understands that education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. The organization collaborates closely with local communities to develop tailored educational programs that meet the unique needs and cultural context of each village.

Community members are actively involved in all aspects of school operations, from construction and maintenance to curriculum development and teaching. This participatory approach ensures that schools are sustainable, responsive to local needs, and serve as vibrant community hubs.

Empowering Teachers and Leaders

Recognizing the crucial role of teachers in shaping students' lives, SFMV invests heavily in teacher training and professional development. Teachers receive ongoing support, mentorship, and resources to enhance their pedagogical skills and create engaging learning environments.

Beyond the classroom, SFMV empowers community members to take leadership roles in their schools and communities. Through mentorship programs and leadership training, individuals develop the skills and confidence to advocate for their children's education and contribute to the overall well-being of their villages.

Transformative Impact

The impact of School for My Village's work is immeasurable. Thousands of students have graduated from SFMV schools, equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to pursue their dreams. Many have become teachers, doctors, engineers, and community leaders, making a positive impact on their communities and beyond.

Beyond academic achievements, SFMV schools foster a sense of community, empowerment, and hope. They create a safe and nurturing environment where students can learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
