About this Petition Petition Letter Petition Updates

Give the future leaders of Africa the tools to combat poverty through education. Educate! unlocks the potential of African youth to solve the greatest challenges facing their communities through exponential empowerment – investing long-term in youth so they can positively impact many others.

Educate! envisions an Africa in which all students are prepared to better their communities and develop solutions to the challenges facing their continent. There are critical challenges facing youth: poverty, violence, disease, and environmental degradation. There will not be sustainable solutions to these issues without a new generation of leaders prepared to create and lead those solutions. What we have observed is the tremendous passion among youth to become the leaders who will solve these problems. Educate! helps youth transform their enthusiasm into action. We want to prove that the youth of today can solve the greatest challenges Africa is facing.

Educate! provides a proven mix of a social entrepreneurship and leadership course, long term mentoring, and an alumni program that helps high school students start enterprises. The curriculum is focused on the skills and experience students need to find solutions to poverty, violence, disease, and environmental degradation. The teachers are mentors who build powerful relationships that give youth confidence to lead change. And the classroom is the community itself where the Educate! students start initiatives that solve the greatest challenges facing their communities. Today, Educate! is working with 1,300 diverse youth across Uganda and has developed a curriculum model that is being replicated in Tanzania and South Africa as well. 

Invest in the education of a child and afford them the opportunity to become an agent for social change. With your generosity, more African youth will become empowered to lead their communities out of poverty. Visit www.experienceeducate.org/invest today to make this goal a reality.

Take Action!

I believe in educating and empowering the next generation of socially responsible leaders in Africa.

We believe that empowering one individual creates an impact that spreads exponentially as that individual goes on to empower others. Education is the key in preparing the promising students of Africa for a successful future as leaders.

Together, with Educate!, we can equip high school students across Africa to create social enterprises - financially sustainable, innovative, and effective initiatives that address the greatest challenges faced by communities.
