THE AMAL ALLIANCE INC

IN 2025, AMAL ALLIANCE REMAINED STEADFAST IN ITS MISSION TO PROVIDE DISPLACED AND UNDERSERVED CHILDREN WITH SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL LEARNING (SEL) AND QUALITY EDUCATION, ENSURING THEY HAVE THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO HEAL, GROW, AND THRIVE. AS GLOBAL DISPLACEMENT CONTINUES TO RISE, OUR WORK HAS NEVER BEEN MORE CRITICAL. THIS YEAR, WE FOCUSED ON EXPANDING ACCESS TO EDUCATION THROUGH MOBILE LEARNING, SCALING SEL PROGRAMS IN BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL SETTINGS, AND LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO REACH CHILDREN IN CRISIS SITUATIONS WORLDWIDE. A MAJOR HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR WAS THE LAUNCH OF OUR MOBILE LEARNING INITIATIVE, AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO BRINGING EDUCATION DIRECTLY TO MIGRANT AND DISPLACED CHILDREN LIVING IN REMOTE SHELTERS ACROSS MASSACHUSETTS. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR'S EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF EDUCATION, THE DEPARTMENT OF EARLY EDUCATION AND CARE, HORIZONS FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN, AND NEIGHBORHOOD VILLAGES, WE TRANSFORMED MOBILE BUSES INTO TRAUMA-INFORMED LEARNING SPACES. THIS INITIATIVE ENSURED THAT EVEN THE MOST TRANSIENT CHILDREN HAD ACCESS TO QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, BRIDGING GAPS IN THEIR DEVELOPMENTAL AND ACADEMIC JOURNEY. AT THE SAME TIME, WE CONTINUED TO SCALE COLORS OF KINDNESS, OUR FLAGSHIP SEL PROGRAM, EXPANDING ITS REACH IN BOTH GREECE AND THE UNITED STATES. IN GREECE, WE WORKED ALONGSIDE THE GREEK MINISTRY OF EDUCATION AND RELIGIOUS AFFAIRS TO INTEGRATE COLORS OF KINDNESS INTO THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM VIA THE SKILLS LAB PLATFORM, MAKING IT ACCESSIBLE TO THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MEANWHILE, IN THE UNITED STATES, WE INTRODUCED COLORS OF KINDNESS AT THE RAFAEL HERNNDEZ DUAL LANGUAGE MAGNET SCHOOL IN BOSTON, ADAPTING THE PROGRAM FOR BILINGUAL LEARNERS IN COLLABORATION WITH BAOBABOOKS, AN AI-SUPPORTED LITERACY PLATFORM. THIS EXPANSION FOLLOWS YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL PILOTING ACROSS MULTIPLE COUNTRIES AND UNDERSCORES OUR COMMITMENT TO TAILORING SEL APPROACHES TO DIVERSE EDUCATIONAL CONTEXTS. INTERNATIONALLY, OUR FLYING COLORS PROGRAM IN UGANDA SHOWCASED THE POWER OF BLENDING SEL WITH DIGITAL LEARNING TOOLS TO SUPPORT DISPLACED CHILDREN. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH HOPELINK FOR ALL FOUNDATION (HAF-UGANDA) AND LEARNING EQUALITY, FLYING COLORS PROVIDED OUT-OF-SCHOOL AND AT-RISK LEARNERS IN PALABEK REFUGEE SETTLEMENT WITH STRUCTURED SEL AND ACADEMIC SUPPORT. BY INTEGRATING THE COLORS OF KINDNESS CURRICULUM WITH KOLIBRI, AN OFFLINE- FIRST DIGITAL PLATFORM, WE HELPED CHILDREN DEVELOP EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE, REGAIN FOUNDATIONAL ACADEMIC SKILLS, AND PREPARE FOR REINTEGRATION INTO FORMAL EDUCATION. INITIAL RESULTS DEMONSTRATED REMARKABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN EMOTIONAL REGULATION, ENGAGEMENT, AND LITERACY/NUMERACY SCORES, PROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THIS BLENDED EDUCATION MODEL FOR CRISIS-AFFECTED COMMUNITIES. IN 2025, WE REACHED 6,980 NEW PRIMARY-AGED STUDENTS OVER MORE THAN 349 NEW CLASSROOMS. AN ADDITIONAL 672 EARLY LEARNERS THROUGH THE MOBILE LEARNING INITIATIVE. 9 TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS WERE CONDUCTED TO TRAIN DOZENS OF TEACHERS AND VOLUNTEERS. AS WE LOOK AHEAD, WE REMAIN COMMITTED TO SCALING INNOVATIVE LEARNING SOLUTIONS, FORGING STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS, AND ENSURING THAT EVERY CHILD- REGARDLESS OF CIRCUMSTANCE-HAS ACCESS TO EDUCATION THAT NURTURES BOTH THEIR MIND AND HEART.
