Every child’s future begins with a teacher who believes in them. 💛

This workshop was more than a moment of learning, it was a space where teachers found new tools, fresh inspiration and renewed hope for the children they guide every day.

In this video, hear directly from the educators whose voices remind us why this work matters so deeply. Because when teachers grow, entire classrooms rise with them.

Help us continue creating opportunities that empower teachers and transform the future for every student.

“I read more now. It helps me because there were letters that were difficult for me, but now I can read them.” 📚

This is what progress looks like.

This World Book Day, we’re celebrating moments like these, the ones that don’t always make headlines, but change everything for a child. Learning to recognize letters. Gaining confidence. Realizing “I can do this.”

At Pencils of Promise, our work goes beyond books. We support teachers, strengthen classrooms and build the foundations that help children not just access education, but truly learn.

Because before a child can explore the world through reading, they first need the skills to unlock it.

Be part of those first breakthroughs. Help us create classrooms where every child can read, grow and believe in what’s possible.

It started with a reunion… and it’s becoming a year of impact 💛

On March 24–25, we kicked off our 2026 Workshops in Quiché, bringing together 75+ teachers and school leaders from our program schools.

Together, we reconnected, launched our Teacher Support and WASH programs and set the path for the year ahead, all for the students at the heart of it all.

Because when teachers grow, students thrive.

Big change can start with something as small as clean hands 💧

We just wrapped up our final WASH Workshop of 2026 in Laos, reaching 132 participants across 6 districts—all focused on one thing: helping children stay healthy and ready to learn.

Because when children have access to safe water and learn simple hygiene habits, everything changes.
More days in school. More confidence. More opportunities.

This is how we build healthier futures, one child at a time

💛 Take a moment today to reflect: what’s one small habit we can all support that could change a child’s future? Be part of the change—because every action matters.

World Pencil Day ✏️

A pencil changed everything.

When Adam Braun was traveling, he asked a young boy what he wanted most in the world. The answer was simple: a pencil.

That moment sparked something bigger than a single object, it became the beginning of a movement grounded in the belief that every child deserves access to education.

Today, that same belief drives everything we do. From building schools to training teachers and supporting students, we’ve seen how something as small as a pencil can unlock confidence, creativity and opportunity.

Because a pencil isn’t just a tool—it’s a starting point.

✏️ Join us in making education possible. Support a student today.

Sometimes the most meaningful stories about education come from the teachers themselves. 📖 ✏️

On World Storytelling Day, we’re sharing a message from a teacher at one of our partner schools in Guatemala:

"Pencils of Promise has been a great support and a blessing for our school. At first, we thought the support would only involve building classrooms. But it has been so much more. The support has been overwhelming. They provide materials and truly follow through on their commitments. They don’t just speak about change; they make it happen."

Behind every classroom is a teacher who shows up every day believing in their students.
Behind every school is a community working to create opportunity.

At Pencils of Promise, these are the stories that inspire us most — stories of dedication, partnership and hope for the future. 💛

✏️ Today, help us continue sharing and supporting these stories. Visit the link in our bio to learn how you can be part of the next chapter.

Today is World Water Day, a reminder that something as simple as clean water can transform a classroom. 💧

When schools have access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education:

💧 Students get sick less often
📚 Attendance improves
🚻 Schools become safer and more supportive learning environments — especially for girls

That’s why Pencils of Promise integrates WASH into our work with partner communities. Together, we support schools with safe water access, improved sanitation facilities and hygiene education that helps students stay healthy and ready to learn.

Because education doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens in environments where students’ basic needs are met.

💧 Healthy students
📚 Consistent learning
🌍 Brighter futures

✏️💛 This World Water Day, help us continue expanding access to safe water in schools. Share this message or visit the link in our bio to be part of the solution.

Drums, dancing and joyful cheers filled the air in Mafi Kumikpo-Dekpoe as the community gathered to celebrate something truly special: the opening of their new school.

For the students who will walk through these doors every day, this moment marks the beginning of new opportunities, new dreams and a brighter future. ✏️💛

This school is dedicated to Gladys Fosu Meyer, in honor of her generosity, courage and trust in God. It was generously funded by Greta Silver and other supporters who believe every child should have access to a quality education and the chance to pursue their dreams.

A day full of pride, emotion and celebration — and a reminder of what’s possible when communities and supporters come together. 💛

Today, on International Women’s Day, we celebrate the girls, teachers, mothers and leaders who are shaping stronger futures in their communities. 🌍 💛

At Pencils of Promise, we see every day how education transforms the lives of girls. When a girl stays in school, she gains more than knowledge. She gains confidence, opportunity and the power to choose her own path.

Through safe school environments, WASH programs, menstrual hygiene support and teacher training, we are working to remove the barriers that prevent girls from accessing quality education.

Because when you educate a girl, you don’t just change one life, you change generations. 💜

To every student dreaming big, every teacher guiding the way and every woman leading with courage: today we celebrate you.

Join us in supporting girls’ education. Share this post, start a conversation or visit the link in our bio to help create opportunity for the next generation.
