75 million children are out-of-school and many more attend irregularly or drop out.* One in five adults are still not literate, and two-thirds of those are women.* Nearly half the world’s out-of-school children are in countries affected by conflict.* *sources from UNDP, WHO, UNICEF THE GLOBAL EDUCATION CRISIS

THE GLOBAL EDUCATION CRISIS A literate community is a dynamic community, one that exchanges ideas and engages in debate. Illiteracy, however, is an obstacle to a better quality of life, and can even breed exclusion and violence. About 774 million adults lack the minimal literacy skills.* Literacy is a fundamental human right and the foundation for lifelong learning. It is fully essential to social and human development in its ability to transform lives.*

WHAT GAiN DOES

WHERE WE WORK

GAiN’s CarePacks provide needed supplies to impoverished communities to assist with education. The program empowers students to learn more effectively while also demonstrating the love of Christ. GAiN’s CarePacks give our partners access to public schools. Because so many students can’t afford supplies, their learning is inhibited. Because of this need GAiN goes in and provides not just CarePacks, but in some cases, Bibles and an opportunity to share the gospel message. THE SOLUTION

“When I grow up I want to be a teacher. I am 5 years old and this is the first time I received the gift. I love the crayons.” -Pamela, Guatemala FROM THE FIELD

“I had 40 elementary students bring a ruler to class one day. Only 4 of the children had rulers. When the team arrived with school supplies for the whole class, I was amazed. It allowed the team to share more about why they were here and the importance of the gospel.” -Phylis, Dominican Republic FROM THE FIELD
