INSPIRE HUB
& INSPIRE LAND a safe GARDEN
where CHILDREN can GROW
we
BELIEVE
Mon Coeur’s Inspire Hub is a place that opens up new perspectives for children from underserved communities. We asked the community what they needed and they said: Inspiration.
On the most basic level, Inspireland is an afterschool program that gives the kids a safe place to be between school and 6pm. They get a warm meal, and transportation to and from Inspire Land.
A team of teachers from the local township teach classes on ecology, crafts, sports, and literature. The curriculum adapts to what the kids need. When it’s final exam season, the classes shift to helping the kids with their studying.
Guided by the idea
“You cannot be what you cannot see,”
we open our doors to world. We bring in guest teachers to lead inspiring workshops. For example, a team from Silicon Valley taught coding and Laura Malina Seiler taught personal development.
The Inspire Hub is also a place for community. Everyone can contribute their talents to create new opportunities for the children and help them build a self-determined future.
The
Inspire Land
a place where you belong
At Inspire Land, children learn through real projects. They don’t just receive an education, they live it, hands-on and close to real life.
Just a year ago, this land was an abandoned place, overgrown and hidden under trash. Today, Inspire Land is a safe garden, a campus of learning, movement, inspiration and opportunity.
And we’re not finished yet. We keep building and growing. And if you also believe that education should empower, not just instruct, join us and help us create something that lasts and changes lives for the better.
