Schools need desks and furniture, paper and pencils for students,
chalk and basic teacher supplies.
Active Curriculum
Based on MoE standards, the iSchool
curriculum provides activity-oriented lesson plans for each day.
Teacher Stipends
Teachers must receive a living wage for incentive, retention,
proper management, and to ensure security of hardware.
Teacher Training
Our teachers receive weekly observation and training, as
well as ongoing professional development.
Solar Electric
A reliable solar electric system is required in most rural
areas to power e-learning and lighting.
Weekly Management
4 professional staff support every 10 schools, traveling by
motorbike. They provide accountability and logistical support.
Building Care
Respectable and safe facilities are also key to providing
a quality learning environment for the students.
Community Ownership
PTA's and tribal leaders must have ownership. Communities
contribute $2 per student and hold adult classes at night.

In addition to community and teacher ownership, steel doors
and a security guard are provided.
