Amarok Society: Teach a month, change the world.
Amarok Society defeats ignorance with the most powerful force known to man: Woman.
Amarok Society brings a revolutionary solution to a chronic humanitarian problem.
What do you do in a land where there is no money to build schools for the millions of uneducated children? How do you reach into the hearts of destitute communities to inspire lasting change in a way that’s sustainable and cost-effective?
Amarok Society effects miraculous changes in the lives of thousands of Bangladeshi children through our unusual and daring design for educating the dwellers of desperately poor slums.
We empower mothers.
Amarok Society teaches uneducated mothers how to read and write, and then teaches the mothers to be neighbourhood teachers – educating their own and their neighbours’ children every day in their homes, with astonishing result.
There are over 70,000,000 children in the world who are too poor to go to school. Thinking people will recognize this as a world problem, not a third world problem. Conventional approaches are not working for these ‘bottom hundred million children’ – new approaches are needed. We harness the power of mothers to effect lasting improvement in some of the poorest slums in the world.
Our mission is to teach mothers to teach families.
If you teach a mother, you teach a family.
If you teach five mothers, you teach a neighbourhood.
We go where no one else goes to do what no one else does. We harness and enhance the power of motherhood to the benefit of all humanity. As one mother, a labourer at construction sites, says, “I can’t afford to send my children to school. My teaching them is the solution to their future.”
