Our Givology Fellows serve as the "ears and eyes" of our community. They visit our partners in the field, conduct research about education in the developing world, and write about the lessons and discoveries they make in our Notes from the Field Journal. Since not all of us have the opportunity to travel, the blog entries and reflections of our fellows are really important in shedding light on some of the most difficult challenges in providing access to quality education. Please visit our fellowships page if you are interested in becoming a Givology fellow.
Below, you can find some short bios of our fellows, as well as a link to their journals:
