Thank You!!!! Because of your support over 1.7 MILLION children in Ghana, Rwanda and Liberia are engaged in learning!

In fact, we are celebrating the impact of PEN in a small, low-cost school in Kasoa (near Accra, Ghana). Every one of their students scored the highest grade on their national science exam. Watch video here: https://youtu.be/8PVthNdBExw

The key to success?
Every one of their teachers was trained by PEN using the strategy outlined in the PEN hands-on STEM manual.

Our challenge?
To put the PEN hands-on STEM Manual in the hands of every teacher working in underprivileged schools in Africa. We aim to distribute 1,800 sets of manuals this year. Each set contains one copy of both the Lower Primary and Upper Primary manuals, covering ALL topics in the primary school science curriculum.

But we need your help.
The cost is just $28 per manual set.
That means your gift of $250 equips 9 schools – over 2,700 students will be engaged in active STEM learning.
Your gift unlocks the door to learning for African children. The PEN STEM program is the key to learning.

The PEN hands-on STEM Manuals are• Approved by Ghana's National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA).
• Aligned with the national curriculum.
• No-cost to low-cost approach for conducting STEM experiments.
• A step-by-step guide to teaching STEM practically with local materials
• Enhanced by outdoor activities for learners
• Inquiry-based and kinesthetic learning
• Localized STEM, sparking learners’ curiosity, and nurturing them to become problem-solvers.

One teacher said, "The PEN manual is my second Bible!"

I want to encourage and equip African teachers!
Here is my gift of:
$140 to provide 5 manual sets
$250 to provide 9 manual sets
$500 to provide 18 manual sets
$_ to provide as many manual sets as possible

PEN is enabling every African child to learn by doing.
