We teach the unreached

Education transforms lives. United World Schools (UWS) works in some of the world's poorest regions to give every child access to free education. We partner with local communities and supporters around the world to teach the unreached.

Our Mission

To improve, through education, life opportunities for some of the world's poorest children living in remote and marginalised communities.

Our Vision

A world in which all children have the chance to go to school.

We teach the unreached by

Since 2008, we have given 25,500 children a life-changing education. Our aim is to reach 50,000 children with education by 2020.

A Note on Governance

We are an educational charity independent of any political, faith or cultural missions. We only engage in charitable activities. We have no shareholders nor does any person or company benefit from our income or assets other than as a recipient of charitable activities.

If we were to stop operating, UWS assets would be distributed to other charitable organisations for similar educational purposes.
