Pencils of Promise partners with local communities to build schools and increase educational opportunities in the developing world. We focus on early education, high potential females and empowering a new generation of passionate young leaders to create profound good.

PoP was founded with a $25 bank deposit by founder Adam Braun and in less than two years has grown into an international movement of over 60,000 committed supporters who are collectively demonstrating that every person has the resounding capacity to create good. Want proof? Over 90% of individual donations have been $100 or less from students and young professionals from across the globe. We’re a community, and we call ourselves The PoP Movement. By December 2010, we’ll complete our 15th school between Laos and Nicaragua… we’d like to build 15 new schools in 2011, but we’re going to need your help to get there.
