Programs: PILAglobal provides high quality education to under-resourced communities around the world through an international constellation of “Nests” – culturally responsive, play-based early education programs for young children and families. In collaboration with partner organizations, PILAglobal establishes schools and parenting programs in refugee camps, migrant shelters, and communities experiencing extreme poverty. PILAglobal was founded on the belief that all children, regardless of economic or geographic considerations, are entitled to an education that sparks curiosity, creativity and joy. Supported by local asylum seekers, international volunteers, and local teachers, each Nest inspires children to explore, negotiate, collaborate and cultivate their passions. For children who have been forced to leave their home, these experiences create a refuge that restores human dignity and nurtures healthy development.
