OUR WORK

Programs That Support Learning, Opportunity and Resilient Communities

PKO works with children, young people, schools, families, communities and partners to expand learning opportunities, strengthen skills and support locally led development.

OUR APPROACH

Responding to Needs While Building Long-Term Opportunities

PKO’s programs are developed around the needs and opportunities identified with children, young people, schools, communities and local stakeholders. While individual projects have different objectives, they share a common purpose: to strengthen people’s capabilities, improve access to learning and opportunity, and support more resilient communities. 

OUR PROGRAMS 

Four Connected Areas of Work

PKO organizes its public work under four program pillars. These pillars help communicate our work clearly while allowing individual projects to address more than one area when needs overlap.

Strengthening access to quality learning, literacy, teacher capacity and inclusive, supportive learning environments for children and schools. 

Youth, Skills & Scholarships

Supporting young people to build leadership, life and employability skills while expanding access to scholarships, education and future opportunities.
