Impact in Action

In partnership with School for Life, our education project is creating lasting generational change. See how together we are planting seeds of opportunity and potential for future generations.

 

The need

 

244 million children are out of school worldwide. In Sub-Saharan Africa, 90% of the children who are in school are not learning effectively due to a lack of learning resources and safe learning environments, nutritious meals and healthcare, low capacity of teachers and other barriers such as distance and costs. 

You can change the future of hundreds of children living in poverty by ensuring they are enrolled and attending a quality, local school in their remote village.

Without an investment in education, and no funding for schools and teachers – many children will be left behind and may never see the inside of a classroom.
