6 7 OUR STORY.

IT STARTED WITH A PENCIL

In 2008, Adam Braun was a young Brown grad and consultant at Bain & Company by trade, backpacker by passion. He developed a travel habit. Adam asked one child in each country what they would want if they could have anything in the world. One boy in India said that his biggest wish was tHEN 100. to have a pencil. They wanted to build schools of their own. So did their families. The greatest minds all started with a pencil and paper. It’s how we learn So did the companies they worked for. Adam quit his job at Bain and started Pencils of Promise, uniting his business to express ourselves and our dreams. A pencil is the first tool to pursue a better future. background with his passion for social change.

Today, PoP works in Laos, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Ghana and has broken ground on over 140 pre and primary schools THEN 1 SCHOOL... in remote and underserved regions of these countries. Each school was made possible by a person, a family or a company Adam put $25 into a bank account and threw himself a 25th birthday as idealistic and inspired as Adam as a young backpacker. party with the goal of building one school. Together, Adam’s friends raised $25,000 which built Pha Theung, a two classroom pre-school in Laos. He used Facebook to share photos of the build process and, finally, of the pre- school students on their very first day in their new classrooms. His friends saw their dollars changing lives.

At Pencils of Promise, we focus on building strong structures and sustainable education programs. By forming long-lasting, collaborative relationships with communities, we increase access to quality education and positively impact students and parents in high-need communities throughout Laos, Ghana, Guatemala and Nicaragua.

10 11 OUR IMPACT OUR IMPACT HELLO, GHANA. LOCAL STAFF.

WHY IS LOCAL LEADERSHIP SO IMPORTANT? We were founded on the belief that ownerships leads to sustainability. We knew there were people in our partner countries who were dedicated and capable of spearheading movements of change in their own countries in a way that we as an organization could never quite do. We believe local leadership is the only answer to sustainable change.

In addition like Freeman are the solution. to government stability, we take into account community investment in education, a clear need for access to quality education and the potential for local leadership. Ghana checked all of these boxes.

12 13 OUR IMPACT OUR IMPACT BEYOND THE BUILD. MONITORING & EVALUATION.

Monitoring and evaluation is key to our process because it allows our teams to measure the successes and identify the opportunities for improvement in our work. When you know what works and what doesn’t, you know how to address the issue most effectively.

It was all in an effort to help PoP reach its impossible goal of breaking ground on the 100th school by the end of the year. Meet some of the people who proved we all have the potential to be an Impossible One below:
