Equal Access to Education
While our primary focus is Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, Goal 5: Gender Equality is also a part of our mission at Wellspring because we believe that girls and boys should have equal access to quality education!
Last year, we launched a program to train educators and leaders in recognizing gender bias and creating more equal learning environments—and it has impacted teachers just like Immaculee! Through it, Immaceulee has unlearned gender roles and inspired her family and students to do the same! Read her testimony to see how the impact is extending beyond her own mindset and into her home and classroom: https://thewellspringfoundation.org/stories/unlearning-gender-roles/
International Development Week (IDW) aims to draw attention to international development and shine a spotlight on Canadians’ contributions to eradicating poverty and to a more peaceful, inclusive and prosperous world.
