Pencils of Promise is a 501c3 organization whose mission is to build schools in the developing world and train young leaders to take action at home and abroad. In just three years since being founded with $25, PoP has broken ground on 50+ schools, established the largest social media following of any nonprofit started in the past four years, and delivered over 1 million educational hours in the developing world.
Through collaborative efforts of sustainable development, Pencils of Promise works to place a pencil in every child's hand with the hope that it will be the first step towards fulfilling the promise of self-empowerment and a higher quality of life.
