Program areas at Open Schools Worldwide

Open Schools worldwide, inc.responds to the educational needs of children who are shut out of the traditional school system or are at risk of educational failure for reasons beyond their control. It aims at developing compassionate relationship and a supportive environment to overcome trauma and some of the obstacles to learning. These children are taught by trained volunteers using an interactive proprietary curriculum for teaching literacy and numeracy skills. Life skills are taught through games. In 2018 there were over 6,000 children enrolled in the program in south africa, zambis, zimbabwe, kenya, and ethiopia. Children in zimbabwe are from the bushman tribe and the binga tribe.
