01 Guatemala

A year of weekly lessons

We taught directly

Working with an NPO partner, our mentors taught weekly for roughly a year — one hour per group, every week. We built image-first slides that worked over unreliable connections, opened with icebreakers to get students talking, and wrote feedback after each session.

This is the only programme where EN2U mentors were the ones teaching. Everything we learned about what survives a low-bandwidth classroom came from here, and it is what the curricula are built on.

02 Gaza

Curriculum supplied, partner delivered

We supplied the curriculum

We provided teaching materials to a partner in Gaza. They ran the sessions. We were not in the room and we did not run these classrooms — the distinction matters, and we would rather state it than let a reader assume otherwise.

Separately from this, we use our platform to amplify Gaza Soup Kitchen, a grassroots organisation providing hot meals across Gaza. That is solidarity work, not a teaching programme, and we count it as neither.

03 Methodology

How we count

Hours are counted from scheduled sessions that ran. “Students reached” combines students our mentors taught directly with students taught by partners using our curricula — we do not separate the two because our partners report totals, not rosters. Where a figure is a floor rather than an exact count, it is written with a plus sign. We do not publish follower counts as impact.
