Did you know? 61 million African children of primary school age - one in every two - reach adolescence unable to read, write, or do basic math. We have a global education crisis on our hands, but together we can end it. Join our community of supporters breaking down barriers and building schools in the places that need it most - ASAP.

The Africa School Assistance Project believes in a world where all people have access to safe, equitable, and quality education. Why? Because education, more than any other sector of development, seeds dramatic improvement in poverty reduction, gender equality, health outcomes, child immunization, HIV/AIDS prevention, environmental protection and wildlife conservation. Simply put, widely available public education will lead to a prosperous, peaceful and sustainable future for Africa. There are countless barriers to education, especially for girls, and we know that isolated interventions won't create the change needed. So, we systematically develop public schools in rural regions of Tanzania and make sure to break every barrier we cross. School building - Teacher Support - Health - Educational Resources - Community Engagement
Only when solutions are implemented synergistically and address the holistic needs of youth can the impact be deep and lasting.
