Education for All
In addition to our Sustainable Products Initiative, we also have our Education for All enterprise. This involves creating accessible educational resources and programs for diverse learners, promoting equity and equal opportunities. By partnering with educators and institutions worldwide, Edx Education empowers all learners to reach their full potential.
By supporting the Gecko On the Move project, we made a difference to a child’s life by providing them with the opportunity to be educated. Gecko On the Move’s vision is for children to connect, discover and create through mathematics using manipulatives. We fundraised to employ a local Tanzanian facilitator and teacher for an entire school year.
The Zhi-Shan Foundation supports elementary school and kindergarten students so they receive adequate education and care in indigenous communities. The villages are widely spread, meaning it is hard to find the best location for all the young children, so the mobile kindergarten was created. With funding from Edx Education, they can now bring educational toys and books, with teachers and social workers, to more than 12 locations in the mountains near Hsinchu County.
With the Kaixin Workshop, Edx Education has sponsored the renovations of a house turning it into an after school centre for the aboriginal children from the local primary school in a village north of Hualien. It is one of their new pilot projects to provide more education opportunities for children around the world and especially in Taiwan.
Edx Education HQ in Taiwan participated in a local initiative, the Lohas Preschool (Orphanage) makeover project, located in Taoyuan city, Taiwan. Edx Education sponsored the makeover including the redecoration of the orphanage, and also continue to donate products to help children learn though play and hands-on learning through maths manipulatives. 19 children and teenagers (ages 2 to 18) now live in the house of this orphanage. The concept is to let the children and teenagers feel more at home. A very well known, lifestyle YouTuber in Taiwan filmed the makeover to celebrate with the children and teenagers. All profit from the video views will go to the orphanage. (https://youtu.be/gJNlfmJuakc)
At Edx Education, we believe in providing education opportunities to all. We look forward to being involved in many projects going forward.
