The non-profit Education Development Center works in 35 countries across the globe to improve education and health through various projects and research. The center looks to improve schools on an international scale through professional development resources and youth training programs, such as the "sericulture" training in Rwanda, where EDC funds helped show local youths how to raise silkworms to successfully produce silk. EDC has also worked with other international organizations such as the World Health Organization to help bring more awareness about health education in schools.
The Education Development Center is easily accesible by the #558 MBTA bus, which stops nearby at 75 Chapel St.
