WHAT WE DO
Heal A School empowers schools in the Himalayan region through passionate, volunteer-driven support. By mentoring principals, training teachers, and providing essential resources, we help schools unlock their full potential and thrive. Healing does not wait for perfect conditions, it begins when people choose to care.
WHY WE DO IT
Because lasting change begins with people. Heal A School volunteers are experienced educators who connect through Zoom, an online video meeting platform, to build skills, boost confidence and nurture lasting growth all through support that’s personal, caring, and relationship-driven!
WHO LEADS THE JOURNEY
Thomas Santo has dedicated over 40 years to education, serving as a special education teacher and principal in U.S. public schools, while also extending his expertise through international service. Inspired by the challenges educators face abroad, he founded Heal A School, a volunteer mentorship program that, over the past three years, has grown to support four principals in the Himalayan region collectively overseeing thirteen rural schools.
Learning Together Across Faiths and Cultures
The schools we support serve children from diverse faith traditions and cultural backgrounds. While their beliefs and traditions may differ, these children share classrooms, friendships, and the opportunity to learn and grow together. Heal A School believes every child deserves access to quality education in a school community grounded in dignity, respect, and belonging. By strengthening schools, we help create opportunities for children and educators to learn from one another and build a stronger future together.
