AB: These humanitarian programs take time to emerge and we wanted to avoid any bureaucratic hurdle. Concretely, we aim to create entities in as many countries as possible so that the greatest number will benefit from sharing knowledge and values in our society. We strongly believe in the concept of glocalization that can make access to education easier by adapting to the specifics and needs of each region.
This does not mean that we come to a country where we point out the defects or problems of the system in force. We’re present in 135 countries to date and that also includes partnerships with existing organizations that we’re turning into a hub (a kind of franchise associated with EdHeroes). We engage with local players in the education world to support them in their projects. So they do the same job as usual but with more resources. Likewise, we don’t just give out money. We first identify the people who are most passionate about education in the country and support them in various ways.
We really want to innovate in the traditional charitable system, which is seen as outdated and too bureaucratic. EdHeroes ensures more transparency in the distribution of donations: we are simply facilitators and the money does not pass through us, but goes straight into the pockets of the people who represent us.
What is your dream about this project?
AB: I dream of succeeding in spreading a center in all countries of the world thanks to a network of education enthusiasts who know each other and who help each other in the slightest problem. In short, my ambition remains to weave a global network of educational experts working for a better world. Therefore, our priority is to get more coverage in order to become better known all over the world. And that turns out to be rather simple, given the connectivity of today’s world. But the digital world alone can be cold and distant and the importance of the human dimension should not be forgotten. Good ideas do not come out of nowhere and are the result of exchanges between people.
