African schools often face serious structural problems, from poor infrastructure to overcrowded classrooms. We are helping our partner schools by building new classrooms, setting up computer rooms, providing toilets, and providing equipment and sports supplies. You can get involved in our current programs and help make them happen with your support. Our programs are traceable and documented, and are designed according to local needs. Infrastructural improvements are complemented by teacher training and education campaigns aiming to promote technological development and to modernize the curriculum. In addition, engage with causes that help the community and the students, such as the Girls' Cause program, where we advocate for the elimination of female genital mutilation.
