EducateNcare’s mission is spelled out in its name. An online tutoring company with a focus on mathematics, EducateNcare works with grade school and college students in the United States and with that revenue helps to educate disadvantaged children in Latin America, Asia and Africa through what the social business calls the EduCare Global Education Movement.
Education goes beyond simply learning. A solid and consistent education for many children around the world means that they are less likely to be at risk for poverty and are more likely to be healthy. Indeed, EducateNcare’s Global Education Movement shows the potential in educating children worldwide.
In a way, EducateNcare operates within a one-for-one model because for every student that completes a tutoring session, one student in need will be assisted in their learning abroad. Interestingly, students are able to choose which area in the world they’d like to help out some of their peers. EducateNcare also has a mobile app for students. The EducateNcare website itself is stacked with information and an inviting design.
One of EducateNcare’s most recent partnerships is with Pencils of Promise, which is a non-profit organization that does education-focused work in the less-industrialized world.
To date, EducateNcare has done over 700 sessions, translating into providing 700 children abroad with the educational resources that they need to empower themselves. EducateNcare’s tagline is, “we believe education is a right -- not a privilege” and there would be few who could disagree with that statement.
