When schooling does not guarantee learning, children are left behind.
Across low- and middle-income countries, millions of children complete primary school without mastering basic reading and maths. Others, especially those who are out of school, over-age, or frequently absent are never reached at all.
Without foundational skills, children struggle to learn, progress, and thrive.
My Village changes this.
My Village turns entire communities into places of learning.
Through short, targeted learning camps and ongoing community support, children build strong foundations in reading and mathematics, whether they are in school or out of school.
Local volunteers and teachers:
It is practical. Community-led. Cost-effective. And evidence driven.
My Village has been piloted and refined across Nepal, Tanzania, and Kenya, with several rounds of implementation helping the programme improve and adapt to different community contexts. Using before-and-after assessments, a study compared children who attended learning camps with similar children from the same communities who did not.
The results are clear:
To date, My Village has reached 30,000+ children across 300+ villages.
Through structured programs and accountable management, PAL Network works to bridge these gaps and restore dignity.
