What Educators without Borders International does

Educators without Borders International (EwB) is a Geneva-registered, non-governmental non-profit organization of public interest, founded in July 2019 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland. It delivers educational services, teacher training, rehabilitation, literacy programs, and psychological support to children, teachers, and students with special needs in crisis areas, refugee camps, and underprivileged communities across the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Europe, Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Latin America. Its core product is a catalog of 14+ structured educational programs — including teacher training, rehabilitation of students with special needs, English and Arabic instruction, women empowerment, psychological health, school administration, math and science, programming/computer skills, early childhood education, and peer teaching — plus an NCFE (UK)-accredited teacher certification delivered in partnership with the Emirates College of Advanced Education. Underlying technology is minimal: the organization explicitly does not operate as a technology company, relying instead on an online volunteer registration and guide platform, virtual workshops/webinars, and a YouTube video channel for content distribution.

EwB's business model is partnership-funded rather than commercially monetized. Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries; revenue inputs are nominal annual volunteer membership fees, professional-services revenue from NCFE-accredited training, and partnership funding from humanitarian organizations (IFRC, Emirates Red Crescent), educational institutions (ISESCO, Al Ain University, ECAE, Bedër University, Madin Academy, Fundación AbbaCol, Pratiman Neema Memorial Foundation), and charitable foundations (Zayed Bin Sultan AlNahyan Charitable & Humanitarian Foundation). The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: educators volunteer through the website, complete registration and training, and are deployed in-person to partner-operated sites, supplemented by virtual workshops and conference participation (notably DIHAD in Dubai). Leadership comprises President Dr. Karima Matar Al Mazrouei, Chairman Dr. Mohamed Al Baili, and Secretary General Omar Al Bariki.
