In sub-Saharan Africa less than 10 percent of the children who enroll in primary school make it through the education system to university. The quality of education is so low that of the 128 million school-aged children, only half will learn the basic skills of reading and writing. Education is a human right enjoyed by all children – but not these children
With these statistics glaring at us… how do we secure the future of these children…?
DACE understands the magnitude of the problem and there is only so much African governments can do on their own. This situation calls for a collaborative approach of working with local governments, aid agencies, nonprofit organizations, community leaders, associations, parents and families to help mold the future of these kids. We work with all these stakeholders by emphasizing the importance of quality education and how they can play a role in helping these children achieve their full potential. Africa’s issues are complex but the solution is simple, we need literate citizens.
Africa’s dire need and our response became the genesis for what we now know as DACE– Deprived African Children Education foundation. We are laying the foundation for a better Africa.
