We believe strong, well-supported educators are the foundation of every thriving society

EWBI began in 2019 with a simple conviction: the surest way to change a community’s future is to invest in the people who teach it. Registered in Geneva that year, our first mission took us to Mrijeb Al-Fhood in Jordan, where we worked alongside educators serving displaced families. Seeing how much a well-supported teacher could achieve with very little, we built our model around capability; through training, mentoring and equipping educators so the impact stays long after we leave.

Since then, that conviction has grown into a network spanning 20 countries across Africa, Asia and beyond. Today we work at every level of education, from primary school teachers to university faculty, in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Kenya, South Africa and elsewhere. Our programmes now cover emerging fields such as artificial intelligence in teaching and research. Looking ahead, we are committed to convening global experts and partners to explore how AI can become a bridge to educational justice for the communities that need it most.
