Ethiopia Academy I
More than 200 students attend the growing Global Influence Academy here. A key to their success is adapting to the community's needs and cultural context.

Special Projects
Tablet Project
GII is working to provide education to remote areas by having a mobile teacher who visits each village, teaches the children a lesson and provides the children with a ruggedized mobile device (tablet) that contains additional lessons. The teacher will return on a regular schedule.
School in a Box
Our dream is to ship a complete school anywhere in the world by utilizing custom shipping containers that BECOME the school once they arrive complete with all supplies and materials needed for a fully functional school.
