Blue Sky Education Projects, founded in 2012, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the betterment of children’s education environments on a global level. Our primary focus is to support elementary schools (K-6) located in disadvantaged communities with infrastructure, curricular, and technological enhancements. Current projects are located in the Philippines, Ghana, and the USA.
To date, Blue Sky Education Projects has assisted with the construction of water systems, feeding facilities, reading centers, multimedia systems, hand-washing stations and kitchens. Blue Sky also has helped to establish and support of healthy feeding programs, staff training sessions, and curriculum supplies.
Blue Sky Education Projects was inspired by the experiences of John Egan who spent time in these communities and wanted to make a tangible difference in the lives of young children and their families as well as their teachers and mentors.
Rebecca Harrison joined the Blue Sky Board of Directors in July 2019 and serves as Vice President for Education Programs. Her current priority is raising funding for Philippines-based projects. She is working to raise support for five schools that educate more than 1,300 students in communities located in Puerto Galero (Tabinay, Isaladora, and Parraway) and Dauin (Balat and Tugagwe). All donations are to support direct costs associated with curricular supplies and infrastructure expenses.
