However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanium.org\/en\/right-to-education\/\">millions of children<\/a> from countries of economic instability do not have access to a basic level of education. What&#8217;s more, teachers are also denied the training required to help children build the skills and knowledge they need to flourish.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team at Pencils of Promise understands the importance of helping to facilitate educational opportunities for all children. Their initiatives focus on two key aspects: Building schools and teacher support. They build classrooms in Ghana, Laos, and Guatemala, providing children a safe place to learn and grow. They also provide training and coaching opportunities to support teachers in implementing up-to-date lessons and teaching strategies. Since its inception in 2008, Pencils of Promise has built over 500 schools, providing educational opportunities for over 200,000 children.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pencils of Promise\/Giovaagram <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wash-program\">Wash program <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key Pencils of Promise initiative is to provide water, sanitation, and hygiene education. It\u2019s estimated that 443 million school days are lost each year due to water and sanitation-related diseases (Pencils of Promise).To combat this, Pencils of Promise\u2019s WASH program provides children with clean water, private bathrooms, and education about hygiene to foster their growth and development. So far, they have installed over 1,000 water sanitation systems, helping over 30,000 children. The WASH program has helped reduce diseases, reduce the burden placed on healthcare systems, and improve child nutrition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2--850x567.jpeg 850w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/hellosells-resourcesnew\/1\/2023\/07\/Pencils-of-Promise-image-2-.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Pencils of Promise\/Giovaagram <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our goal to support future generations, HelloSells has donated to Pencils of Promise to provide children with the education they need to flourish.
