First, we identity an international crisis area and assess our ability to impact displaced people there. Second, we connect with like-minded, in-country partners who have the capacity to establish learning environments serving refugee children within that region. Third, we fund a portable school, whether it be in a tent, a shipping container, or a semi-truck.
We offer support in two ways. One way is to provide desktop and laptop computers for educational organizations serving refugees both in the United States and overseas. The second way we help is in the United States. We work with resettlement agencies to identify families in need of a computer in the home. The devices go to any resettled refugee — child or adult — whose education and job training would be aided by having a computer in the home. The devices are provided in partnership with electronics recycler Comprenew, the only electronics recycler in the world certified to the highest possible standards in quality, environmental safety, and data security.
If you are an individual or entity serving displaced populations through compassionate education, you may apply for a grant from Tent Schools International.
