African children have no future without education. Their education is the key to a future of greater economic, social, political stability and improved standards of living.
- 42 million school children in sub-Saharan Africa are not enrolled in school.
- Primary school enrollments and literacy rates in Africa are among the lowest in the world.
- Many children cannot afford to go to or stay in primary school.
Beacon is building a secondary school in Mbukoni and the first primary school in Kithing’iso. Beacon has also provided learning materials and uniforms throughout the region, with many more projects in the works.
One of Beacon’s future plans is to bring in other humanitarian groups, such as Global Grass Roots, a non-profit organization which invests in social entrepreneurship, to advance women’s well-being in poor countries. By doing this we can better address all the needs of this region.
