Since July 1997, FreeSchools World Literacy has grown from its humble beginnings as a single classroom in Motihari, India, into an international charitable organization empowering women and children with free education in developing countries. We work cooperatively using a model that invests mainly in teachers and learning materials, borrows existing space, and makes literacy possible for thousands of children, especially girls, who would otherwise be deprived of education.
 
Together, we support 80 FreeSchools in India and northern Thailand. Currently, our organizations depend exclusively on volunteers, with more than 90% of funds raised going directly to the field.
