PURE Schools
Transforming Schools. Expanding Opportunities.
PURE Schools works with under-resourced government schools to improve learning spaces, resources and safe facilities. Projects respond to priorities identified with each school.
From classroom repairs and safe drinking water to libraries, digital classrooms and science labs, PURE has supported 600+ schools.
The program works in the USA, India, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.
How this work connects to the SDGs
Better learning spaces (4, 9), safe water and sanitation (3, 6), more equitable access to education (10) and school partnerships (17) connect PURE Schools’ activities to the Sustainable Development Goals.
