Systems strenghtening

We work with teachers, community members, parents and local partners to ensure equitable access to learning opportunities by ensuring:

  • teachers have the competency levels to ensure quality education and learning.
  • care givers are equipped to help their children learn through tailor made trainings.
  • infrastructure improvement.
  • communities participate and contribute to an improved learning environment.

Everyone has the right to a good education.

Education is a basic human right, and is absolutely fundamental to lifting people out of poverty.

Increased enrolment is of little value if quality of education is not sufficient to ensure transition and performance.

For this reason, we work towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 4 to improve the quality of education.
