Our Mission & Vision

photo

We believe every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of the longitude or latitude in which they are born. Education empowers children to make informed decisions, to turn dreams into reality, to reduce their families' struggle, and to facilitate the process of their communities becoming self-sustaining.

Our Vision

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

Our Mission

We increase access to education and improve the quality of learning for children in East Africa. Our approach creates safe and healthy learning environments, strengthens teaching quality, and provides merit-based scholarships.

  • Create Safe and Healthy Learning Environments
    We build infrastructure (schools, kitchens, dormitories) and improve basic health and sanitation services at schools (water, daily meals and toilets).
  • Strengthen Teaching Quality and Enhance Learning in Schools
    We provide classroom resources that will ultimately equip teachers to teach more effective and efficiently. These resources also enhance students' learning environments.
  • Provide Education through Merit-Based Scholarships
    We provide support that covers tuition, exam fees, uniforms, personal effects, boarding, food and learning materials. Our scholarships increase disadvantaged students' access to schools.

Our Partnerships
