Africa Educational Trust

Did you know...

1 in 4 children living in a conflict area is out-of-school and 24 million children world-wide are currently out-of-school because of conflict. However, less than 2% of humanitarian aid goes to support education.

A girl in South Sudan is more likely to die in childbirth than finish primary school. Education of women is a key factor identified by the World Health Organisation in reducing under-5 mortality.

Every year of education a child receives improves their future income, food security, and health. In addition, World Bank studies shows that every year of education reduces risk of conflict and violence.

What makes Africa Educational Trust different
