What EdHeroes does

EdHeroes is a non-profit global education network founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore, operating as EdHeroes Ltd. The organization connects community-based education organizations and changemakers across 135 countries through a network of 16 country-anchored hubs (including in China, Egypt, Finland, Greece, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nigeria, Peru, Singapore, Slovakia, and Türkiye) and a stated community of 270,000+ participants and followers. Core programs include the EdHeroes Global Forum (annual online convening), EdHeroes Awards (annual invitation-only recognition ceremony), EdHeroes Voices podcast on Spotify, EdHeroes Talks on YouTube, EdHeroes Committees (expert consortiums), and an EdHeroes Guide resource. The 2025 Awards ceremony in Singapore hosted 150 invited guests from 14 countries with 83 nominees and 121+ media pick-ups. Strategic partner alliances include UNESCO IITE, World Bank Education, Teach For All, Queen Rania Teacher Academy, AVPN, Educate Girls, and Dream a Dream.

The organization operates a coordination-and-content platform rather than a software product. Underlying technology consists of a website, digital media channels (podcast, YouTube, newsletter, social platforms including LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, X, TikTok, Discord), and PDF annual reports for 2022, 2023, and 2024. No proprietary technology, API, SDK, or mobile application is disclosed. The Hub Application Program functions as a formal three-step vetting pipeline (mission alignment verification, application with impact reports, team review) through which community organizations join the network.

Revenue is generated through a partnership and sponsorship model (sponsorship, media partnership, strategic partnership, and speaking opportunities at flagship events) supplemented by event participation fees for the Global Forum and Awards. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization has 1-10 employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no parent company. EdHeroes Ltd. operates from 2 Shenton Way, #15-04 SGX Centre 1, Singapore 068804, and is led by CEO and co-founder Alina Baimen.
