3-D printed schools are greener, faster, and more affordable.

Thomson Reuters Foundation gathered with dozens of women who danced and sang when the children from the village of Salima, in central Malawi, started their first day of school in their 3D-printed school, which only took 15 hours to build from the ground up.

The school itself can accommodate up to 50 students.

A joint venture between 14Trees, Swiss cement manufacturer LafargeHolcim Awards for Sustainable Construction and British development finance agency CDC Group, the school was built faster, cheaper, and was less energy-intensive than typical construction.

UNICEF estimates that there is, in Malawi alone, a shortfall of 36,000 primary school classrooms. A problem that could be resolved in just 10 years.

Building 3D-printed schools allow students, children, parents, and teachers the opportunity to lower their daily commutes and spend more time focusing on education.

Sustainable Development Goal number 4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.

The SDG report of 2021 took note that COVID-19 has wiped out 20 years of education. There are 101 million children in grades 1 through 8 who fell below the minimum reading proficiency levels in 2020.

In addition, the global school completion rate is expected to continue decreasing.

Schools in the least developed countries (LDC’s) still do not have basic school infrastructure; 56% have drinking water, 33% electricity, and 40% with handwashing facilities.

This is a critical time for large and small corporations and organizations to come together. We need to provide accessible education for the future generation.

What are you as a business owner or an individual doing to help provide primary education to those in need the most?

In 2018, The Walt Disney Company's groundbreaking education investment program, Disney Aspire, started turning dreams into reality for cast members and employees who do the same for guests and fans worldwide.

This is one of the most comprehensive programs of its kind, launched with a five-year, $150 million investment to help the company's hourly employees, letting them pursue their educational goals and dreams.

Whether it means learning a trade, growing their language skills, earning a high school diploma, or earning a college or master's degree, this program gives them the opportunity.

More than 40% of the 90,000+ eligible hourly employees have taken the first step to sign up to participate in the Disney Aspire program, and more than 8,000 employees and cast members have enrolled in classes just in the first year since the program was launched.

Disney Aspire's potential to change lives resonates across the company's hourly workforce.

This is an inspiration to all employers as to what they can do in order to better their workforce and help them achieve success.

We told you about the problem a few days ago so now, how do we at MADE IN PEACE plan to solve it?

First, accepting the situation as is. Accepting that although the conflicts are at the level of governments, change is possible if we put the focus on other areas of life.

This label is not claiming to be another advocator to try and influence these countries’ internal politics and wars, nor waiting for a truce or a peace agreement.

It is working directly with the people and companies with a unique and simple HR process-based solution to address one of the most challenging issues people living in areas affected by conflict suffer from – sustainable, stable and gainful employment.

MADE IN PEACE is an audit-based certification for businesses that confirms compliance regarding fair employment and development in workplaces affected by conflict.

Facing the problem means we need to know what the problem is, right?

Countries in conflict, messy politics, arms, violence, and very little hope for a brighter future.

What reality or solutions does it create for people living under conflict? Survival mode, poverty, lack of opportunities for fair employment, bad health, lack of education, massive immigration, hoping for peace “one day” and the list goes on.

What reality and challenges are businesses in these countries facing?

The unstable economy, fragile working conditions, difficult to recruit trained and suitable workforce.

Difficulty to sustain this workforce. Challenges in keeping a sustainable supply chain, production, delivery, and so on.

Now, what is the solution?

We have previously spoken about ESG, what it stands for, and how businesses worldwide are adopting them. Today we are shining light on how ESG can add value.

Since 2019, European investors have poured billions of Euros into sustainable investment options. Does this mean something interesting is stirring?

Investors and VCs are becoming increasingly interested in how startups are scoring on their ESG policies and practices.

Many situations call for the implementation of ESG; for example, imagine you are a startup and looking for funding. There is a far better chance of convincing investors if you have already implemented ESG policies.

It has been demonstrated that companies performing on ESG practices have a much higher financial growth and optimization, lower volatility, higher employee productivity, reduced regulatory and legal interventions, top-line growth, and cost reductions.

Companies that perform poorly on ESG often experience a higher cost of capital and higher volatility due to controversies and other incidents such as labor strikes, fraud accounting, and other governance irregularities.

Nestlé has committed to reducing child labor and increasing access to education in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana.

The company’s Child Labor Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) has successfully tackled child labor but won't stop there.

This large corporation has been able to help over 128,000 children both inside and outside of its supply chain.

Through their experience, they have noticed that education is a particularly effective way of preventing and reducing child labor. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance that they provide access to quality education.

Since starting the program in 2012, they have managed to build or refurbish 53 schools and provided school kits, and financed the delivery of birth certificates to improve access to education for over 40,000 children.

They have also created 'bridge schools' designed to help children who have missed out on schooling. Smaller class sizes have allowed them to deliver two years' worth of the national curriculum in nine months, aiding children to become literate and numerate.

Nestle has built 98 of these schools with their partner, the Jacobs Foundation In addition, they plan to set up a further 60 bridging classes to help over 1,600 children.
