For Development
Our Mission
Educate for Africa is a charity focusing on strengthening the quality and impact of education in order to improve governance, sustainable development and equality. The charity focuses on improving academic outcomes as well as working to address socio-economic and environmental factors which are barriers to quality teaching and learning.
Our Partners
Educate for Africa partners with dynamic, grass-roots organisations working directly with children. Educate for Africa is fortunate to be able to hand-pick partners based on existing relations, impact of programmes, and strong linkages with end users. This helps to improve accountability and to ensure that funds are spent as intended and the impact felt by the children involved.
In its initial phase, Educate for Africa has chosen to partner with two key organisations. However if you are interested in being considers please contact us.
Physically Active Youth (PAY)
P.A.Y. programme is a dynamic after-school centre in Katutura which provides safe and nurturing learning environment for Namibian children and youth coming from disadvantaged communities.
Combretum Educational Trust
Established in 2002, the Combretum Education Trust exists to enrich education in Namibia in its post-apartheid development.
Sue’s Legacy
Educate for Africa was started by Susan (Sue) Brown after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, as a way to ensure that her vision and work continued. Sue was an passionate educator and worked tirelessly to improve quality of and access to education for children from under-resourced backgrounds.
She started the Combretum Education Trust and wished to expand her work beyond the trust, throughout Namibia and the sub-continent. Educate for Africa is run by passionate Educationalists who are committed to Sue’s legacy and ensuring that it thrives.
Our Impact
Educate for Africa is a charity, not-for-profit organisation that works in line with Government priorities, but with the flexibility and innovation of a private organisation. Educate for Africa working to influence policy and legislation at national level, while also partnering with grassroots organisations working on the ground to ensure impact is felt by individuals.
