The why behind the story of Build-a-School Initiative
Build-a-School Initiative was born out of a need. A need that drives us to dare. To believe that "All children, no matter where they live or what their circumstances, have the right to quality education, especially in Africa."
We envision a world where no child is left behind in getting education in a safe and comfortable environment. To help create that world, Build-a-School Initiative is dedicated to creating, building or restoring school buildings all across Africa.
We realize this is a daunting task, especially when you consider the amount of needs that we see all around Africa. However, we are not deterred because we know that with strong partnerships with donors like you, our corporate partners, community leaders and good people around the world, we can bring the hope of education to millions of children, one school building at a time.

Our Story
Knowledge is like a garden. If it is not cultivated, it cannot be harvested
The why behind the story of Build-a-School Initiative
The success of any country is in its strong educational system that will result in a better life for its citizens. Quality education results in higher average incomes which enable people to enjoy a better standard of living and quality of life.
Unfortunately, currently, Africa is significantly behind others in nearly all education statistics. Of all regions, sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of education exclusion. Over one-fifth of children between the ages of about 6 and 11 are out of school, followed by one-third of youth between the ages of about 12 and 14. Almost 60% of youth between the ages of about 15 and 17 are not in school resulting in millions of youth waking up to no education, no financial resources to feed families leading them to hopelessness and despair. They spend all their prime years putting their dignity at stake searching and failing to find opportunities to grow and create a better life for themselves and their families.
Today, technology is raising the bar even higher when it comes to entry qualifications for several jobs. As such, many children in Africa do not meet the entry specifications required to secure the careers of the future. For instance, the youth do not have the necessary technological knowledge required by employers. They are less advantaged, schools lack fundamental pleasantries, for example, basic necessities like quality education, consumable water, safe classrooms is out of the reach for many of the children in impoverished communities across Africa. Seven out of ten nations are confronting an intense deficiency of quality teaching staff and teaching support resources.
