Why We Invested

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which impacted schools and learning across the country, Aprendiz launched Revolta da Escola, a campaign that helps public school networks rebuild. They work together with their partner organizations and local schools to propose recommendations. We are investing in Aprendiz because rebuilding learning in Brazil with equity at the forefront is critical for helping learners and their families move forward, especially those from communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
