Educate the Nations started from the question “What can I do to help?",  by our founder Deborah Holman. As an elementary school teacher, she spent her summer breaks serving on missions trips overseas. During each trip, she noticed a common theme in the local communities and schools she visited. Children from economically disadvantaged homes and communities often lacked an equal opportunity to a quality education than peers whose families could pay for their schooling. With the additional costs of uniforms and books needed to attend many community schools, some children struggled to continue their education. Teachers in these local schools often lacked the classroom resources needed to provide their students with a quality educational experience, as most expenses come from their own pockets. Compelled to take action, this organization started as a tool to bridge willing sponsors to assist students in their schooling, as well as help support the classroom visions of teachers in developing countries.
