Building a School.Building Futures.
A sustainable education project creating a safe, inclusive and quality learning environment for orphaned, vulnerable and underserved children while opening opportunities for children in the wider community.
WHY WE ARE BUILDING
From supporting education to building an educational future.
EAO was established with a simple conviction: every child deserves the opportunity to receive quality education regardless of their circumstances.
For years, EAO has supported the education of underprivileged and vulnerable orphans. The School Project represents the next step in that journey — creating an environment that can serve children sustainably for generations.
We are moving from simply supporting children in existing schools to creating an education environment where children can learn, grow, discover their potential and dream without unnecessary limitations.
A school is more than buildings and classrooms. It is an investment in children, families and the future of a community.
FROM THE EAO RUN TO THE SCHOOL
Turning every run into a future.
The Annual EAO Run has become an important part of EAO's fundraising journey. Following a resolution made during the 2022 EAO AGM, funds from the Annual EAO Run are directed toward the EAO School Project.
