Education Innovation Awards
About the project
Context
Innovations are important in the education sector because we still have a long way to go before every child has access to quality education. We need new ways to tackle the global education crisis. Local organisations who deliver education for the millions of isolated young people around the world often lack the capacity or support to grow their promising, innovative ideas.
Approach
Theirworld’s Education Innovation Awards offer non-profits, NGOs and charities in countries with marginalised learners the chance to secure five-figure scale-up grants, mentoring and masterclasses to help them expand their offerings so that more children get the opportunities they deserve.
Awards and previous winners
The first round of awards was launched in 2021. The winners of the second round were announced in 2023. A third round of awards was launched in June that year, with an emphasis on bold, creative programmes that specifically target marginalised children in their early years. We’ll be announcing the winners for Cohort 4 before the end of this year.
