Working for an educated future
The International Education Fund (“IEF”) believes in a world without illiteracy where every person enjoys the right to a quality education and a life of respect. The IEF works to facilitate the amelioration of global academic poverty and poor public health. Through promoting international collaborations we enable delivery of structured education that will improve prospects within communities of the developing world, transforming communities in the most desolate parts of the earth with knowledge that will form better lives.
Latest project in the Western Sahara
This year the IEF is proud to announce the launch of a new project for Saharawi refugees. Over the course of the next academic year the IEF will work tirelessly to raise money for the Saharawi children.
At the moment there are around 200, 000 Saharawi refugees living in the harsh Sahara desert in the South West of Algeria. Despite the harrowing conditions that these Saharawis live in, they have managed to create a simple infrastructure, building their society on the values of health, education and democracy.
We will be providing computers for local schools working alongside a blind school, helping them receive specialist equipment, giving the blind a vision for the future. We will also provide healthcare education across the camps, but the success of our efforts depends on you.
We are running a Western Saharan Lecture Series in November/December 2009. Please look at our events page for more information.
We are held our Launch event for this project on the 11th november 2009.For more information on the project please download our brochure or go to our projects page.
