Value proposition

We provide access to quality education around the globe.

Pencils of Promise (PoP) is an international education non-profit organization. PoP believes every child should have access to quality education, and creates schools, programs, and global communities around the common goal of education for all. Since its founding in October 2008, Pencils of Promise has broken ground on over 300 schools in Guatemala, Ghana, Laos and Nicaragua and has provided quality education to over 30,000 children living in these areas.

Pencils of Promise was founded with $25 by Adam Braun, using what he describes as a “For-Purpose” approach blending non-profit idealism with for-profit business principles. PoP works with the local communities to build schools, train teachers and provide student scholarships to girls in particular.

Through social media and a network of passionate supporters creating fundraising campaigns through http://PencilsofPromise.org, we seek to change the way that education is delivered to children around the world.
