United World Schools | Transforming Education Through Government Partnerships
United World Schools (UWS) is evolving its proven educational model to address a critical challenge: millions of children who attend school still can’t read or do basic math by age 10. With recognition from national governments in Cambodia and Nepal, UWS is implementing a three-pronged strategy to improve learning outcomes in existing schools while continuing to build new ones in remote and marginalized areas of Cambodia, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Nepal. Through strategic partnerships, UWS is scaling its impact from thousands to potentially millions of children.
