This includes new infrastructure in the capacity of school classrooms bathrooms with handwashing facilities and playgrounds. Aside from an inviting classroom environment play is essential to childhood development building critical socioemotional skills. As a tool for increasing school attendance engagement and academic success we have added playgrounds to our schools wherever possible since 2015. Sustainability is at the forefront of School the World's partnerships with communities contributing land and labor and local government partners contributing 50% of the construction materials. The other 50% is funded by our individual donors corporate or foundation sponsors and our Global Citizenship Program. As a result of the pandemic the pace of infrastructure slowed in comparison to prior years due to school closures and travel restrictions. In 2020 School the World built 9 new schools 2 playgrounds and 1 bathroom serving 1,212 children in Guatemala Honduras and Panama. 240335 0 0 School the World's Global Citizenship Program is a high school through college-aged service learning program and a corporate sponsorship and philanthropic opportunity. These participants fund 50% of the construction costs with local government officials supporting the other half as mentioned above. Collectively our service groups fund a significant portion of our on-the-ground programming which traditionally includes a parent empowerment program teacher training and books and learning resources. The service opportunity for young adults is unique encompassing a week of international service and culturally rich experiences in rural Guatemala and Panama as well as dedicated educational seminars focused on global citizenship history poverty and more. All but one of these programs were cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic. However 85 students were able to build 3 schools and 2 playgrounds in the indigenous region of Northern Panama in February 2020. Our corporate sponsorship program runs similar to that mentioned above but is strengthened through company networking and employee team building. In March 2020 a group of 18 employees from 5 companies completed the build of 1 school and 1 playground in rural Guatemala. 130483 0 0 School resources books and learning materials were more critical than ever in 2020. Schools in Central America closed in March and never fully reopened by the end of that year. The rural poverty-stricken communities that we serve do not have remote learning resources and are more often than not out of reach of local government education programs. School the World adapted our programming to meet the current education crisis. We developed School the World Radio and broadcasted 96 learning programs for parents and children delivered 3,356 printed work guides created a library book loan system in 25 communities and maintained consistent communication with parents through 65,623 WhatsApp messages and 4,426 phone calls. Our team developed and virtually trained 2,653 teachers in remedial teaching techniques. We provided 169 low-cost smartphones to our lower secondary scholarship students in order to engage in hybrid learning and attend School the World trainings. We also piloted a "last mile" phone and peer-to-peer tutoring program in 20 communities which will continue through 2021. 564219 0 0 1166812 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false true true false true true false false true true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 8 true false true false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 12 true false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CT MA X X PKF OConnor Davies 8602571870 100 Great Meadow Road Wethersfield CT 06109 X Keith Clausen Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia del Aguila Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Merrily Bodell Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Kate Curran Founder CEO 60.00 X 145326 0 0 Ellen McDonnell Stevens Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Claudia Pinto Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Geoffrey Willison Board Member Finance Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Sears Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Nicole Sahin Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Cronin Board Member Secretary 1.00 X 0 0 0 Victoria Costa Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cynthia Clemson Board Member Chair 1.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Delaney Board Member 1.00 X 0 0 0 145326 0 0 1 false true false 0 0 0 0 56705 1118952 125833 1175657 Global Citizenship Program 398960 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 398960 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 223078 0 70398 152680 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1727297 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 145327 79930 58131 7266 0 0 0 0 465887 356271 74134 35482 0 0 0 0 29113 16776 8853 3484 27791 16460 8455 2876 0 0 0 0 15091 14136 995 0 26916 6466 20450 0 0 0 0 0 25000 25000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 23548 15041 8507 0 36936 26809 7682 2445 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4223 0 0 0 7572 2500 5072 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 719766 623423 39441 47862 1527170 1157812 231720 124415 445973 681241 0 0 0 0 33032 54187 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43400 0 19040 15359 4408 3681 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 526813 739109 14307 155251 0 0 128775 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 143082 155251 X 383731 489065 0 94793 383731 583858 526813 739109 200127 0 0 0 0 0 X true X true X true false X 984005 1155275 1383915 2241700 1727297 7492192 984005 1155275 1383915 2241700 1727297 7492192 7492192 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7492192 1 0 X Part II - Line 10 | Year:, Amount:, Description:| 2016, , | 2017, | 2018, | 2019, | 2020, | 19040 15359 3681 3681 1727297 0 0 0 0 0 1727297 0 0 0 1727297 1527170 0 0 0 0 0 1527170 0 0 0 1527170 Central America and the Caribbean 2 15 Program services,Investments Educational Resources 1166812 2 15 2 15 1166812 1166812 false false false false false false X X X X X X X false Boston Gala 223078 0 223078 0 0 33074 14235 0 23371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 223078 0 223078 0 0 33074 14235 0 23371 70680 152398 X X X X false false false false false false false false false Mary Kate Curran Founder & CEO 145327 0 46975 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 192302 0 0 0 Part VI, Line 2 Joseph Cronin and Keith Clausen have a business relationship outside of their involvement with School the World.
