Why Your Membership Matters
Studies show that one of the biggest challenges in developing countries is the shortage of qualified teachers. While more and more children are able to start school each year, large class sizes, untrained teachers, and a lack of resources — from classroom materials to basic infrastructure — often hinder learning.
Without effective teaching, students struggle to learn, and many are at risk of dropping out. Parents may also need their children to help with farming or household work, further increasing dropout rates.
With a donation the size of one annual membership fee, we can train a primary school teacher to include physical activity in their teaching.
Research shows that physical activity boosts children’s motivation to attend school and improves learning outcomes. This enhances their chances of completing school, continuing to further education, and finding employment in the future.
