There can be no more important investment in the long term prosperity of any child than education. The provision of a practical grounding in language and mathematics is a fundamental right for all children.
Education must be universally available and, where barriers to that education exist, it is everyone’s responsibility to help remove them.
Amaanah’s programs are designed to level the playing field for disadvantaged immigrants, providing additional support and guidance to help them make it through school in their new environment.
Teach 360 was created to support children with one of the most critical elements in their educational journey – the ability to keep up in the public school system.
Language proficiency can be the difference between success and failure, helping kids fit in at school and maintain their progress toward fulfilling and independent lives.
Through the Teach 360 program, we offer tutoring and mentoring services to refugee students inside Houston Public Schools.
We follow the kids’ academic journey from elementary to high school. Many of our tutors often come from within the Amaanah community, so they understand the real challenges our Teach 360 students encounter.
In addition, through partnerships with families, communities and schools, we’re working to address other ways we can help bridge learning gaps outside the classroom.
Our goal is simple – to give every child a chance at the education they deserve.
Our scholarship programs help young people to realize their dream of going to college. Each year, Amaanah spends thousands of dollars on deserving students.
Scholarships can help young refugees realize their dream of attending college. What may have seemed to them an impossible mountain to climb during their childhood experiences, can now be seen as a realistic aspiration thanks to you and your decision to support Amaanah.
We are funding scholarships, in partnership with our donors, to send young people in our community to college to study, graduate and to set themselves and their families up for a different life.
The Amaanah Scholarship fund gives $50,000 dollars in scholarships each year to deserving candidates from the refugee and recent immigrant communities. It’s the leg up they need to break themselves out of the cycle of low skilled work and into a job with a future.
