Building Hope Project
The Building Hope Project by Educators of America have made significant strides in enhancing education, particularly in Namibia. Launched in 2017, these initiatives focus on sustainable development rather than dependency. The 2022 project in Namibia, for example, trained educators in Project-Based Learning (PBL) through an intensive workshop in Windhoek. This training not only empowered teachers to implement PBL but also equipped them to train others, ensuring a lasting impact. By incorporating global perspectives and innovative subjects, the projects have enriched education, fostering creativity and problem-solving among students. Overall, these efforts have successfully created a foundation for lasting educational improvement in Namibia, emphasizing the importance of capacity building and community-driven solutions.

Building Cultural Bridges Program
Stretching over oceans and hemispheres, the Building Cultural Bridges (BCB) Program has already exposed hundreds of students in New York and Nevada to their counterparts in Namibia. Middle and High School students have been discovering the world beyond their communities in subjects of education, language, culture, and more.
As the program has progressed, American and Namibian students are collaborating on projects focused on water security, agriculture, environmental conservation, and more. The linguistically and culturally responsive environments that the BCB Program has developed are encouraging students to learn more about Namibia and the African continent as well as sparking interest in international travel and programs.
