Children in poverty without access to education affect us all.
When children are denied the chance to become students, it creates a cycle of unemployment, poverty, and instability in our world.

From Fundraiser to Construction
Following our fundraiser in April to complete the Nursery School Construction Project at Broader Vision School, we met our goal of raising $200,000. The BVS Board of Directors thanks our generous donors who supported this project. We could not make a difference without you! Construction has already progressed: the second floor structure is in place, and the ramp to access the second floor has been framed and poured.
Thank you!
