Aprašymas

Hundreds of millions of children living in poverty today do not get a good education! But in slums and villages around the world, thousands of local school entrepreneurs have risen up to give their own children and their neighbors' children an education. Through them, the working poor can educate their children for less than a dollar a day. This book tells their story and that of Edify, founded in 2009 to serve them. Edify comes alongside Christ-centered low-fee independent schools in Africa, Latin America, and India, providing loans and training to help them transform education."It has been my huge privilege to have known Edify from its inception. They are the pioneers of edufinance - microfinance for low-cost private schools - and associated training. This book follows their remarkable and greatly successful journey." - Professor James Tooley, PhD, renowned researcher and author of The Beautiful Tree: A Personal Journey Into How the World's Poorest People are Educating Themselves.
