The genesis of Educate A Child is prompted by the perpetual neglect of the rural communities of developing countries. Populations of poor countries live on less than US$2 per day. As such educational materials such as textbooks, furniture and stationery is not available. For example, it is reported that pupils sat on planks, stones or on the oor in rural schools in Zimbabwe. In Zimbabwe, pupils lacked writing materials such that the pupils went outside the classroom to write on the ground. All these factors directly impact negatively the education of primary pupils in the rural areas of developing countries.

Educate A Child is committed to educating vulnerable primary school age pupils from grade 1 through 7 in rural primary schools located in the remote areas of developing countries by sourcing and providing education resources and materials. Educating primary school age pupils enables them to acquire higher education that makes them productive and contributing members of the society. Educate A Child is established on the strong assumptions that education is a basic inalienable human right for every child. Additionally, rural communities are interested in educating their children because they equate education to economic and social development success.

Educate A Child shares the aspirations of the rural communities and believes in education as a right to every child and as the only vehicle to economic and social development. As such we are partners with communities, co-investors as well as with social entrepreneurs interested in investing into the education of rural primary pupils. We make sure that the desires and goals of communities and co-investors are met with maximum eciency, eectiveness and sustainability.
