About Us

What We Believe

Every child deserves an education and the opportunity to choose their future, regardless of the longitude or latitude in which they are born. Through education, children can make their dreams a reality, help their families struggle less, and help their communities become self-sustaining.

Our Vision

We envision African communities and families in which the children have the opportunity to receive quality education to define their futures.

Our Mission

We provide comprehensive solutions, addressing education needs on several fronts:

• Create a safer, healthier place to learn—We build physical infrastructure (construction of schools, kitchens, dormitories) and improve basic health and sanitation services at the school (providing clean water sources, nutritional daily food, toilets).
• Help teachers be better teachers—We provide supplies for the classrooms, books and learning materials that support teachers in teaching children to think for themselves, take responsibility for their own education, and confidence in one’s ability to explore, discover, and learn through their environment.
• Provide the gift of education through scholarships—We provide merit based support that includes school and exam fees, uniforms and personal effects, boarding, food and learning materials. This allows students access to schools that they might not otherwise have an opportunity to reach.

We achieve our vision and mission through in-country collaboration with passionate trustworthy individuals who act as our in-country program managers. They live and breathe the dream and hope of creating a better life and stronger communities in the villages where they live and work.

We believe strongly that it is not our place to provide western solutions to the others’ communities, and rely on local contacts to propose solutions that work within their communities and cultures.

Our Partnership Approach

Our in-country program managers live and breathe the dream of creating better education where they live and work. We respect and support local leaders’ proposed solutions in harmony with their cultures and communities.
