Our schools serve a diverse, globally minded student population, offering english-based instruction while embracing local languages and cultures. Through the foundation, supported character-based language, education and business training programs in east asia, and the middle east. Outreach for intensive character based teacher and education training reached over 400 participants through face-to-face and online seminars. All participants were trained in the new character development programme where teachers are trained in use of standards-based instructional frameworks and use of mastery-based reporting in assessing attainment of students. Staff and seconded staff from an affiliated and commonly controlled us nonprofit charitable organization carried out these exempt programs using grants provided by ldi foundation, inc. Some key accomplishments include child safety training - delivered to 300 students and 30 teachers across community schools, with refresher programs conducted. Designed a socio-emotional and child safety curriculum for community learning centres, scheduled for rollout in november 2025. Delivered two rounds of well-being programs and reached 80 teachers involved in the refugee programme in greater cairo.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 94% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 85% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and expenses are high relative to revenue.
