Our Shared Commitment to Them

When they moved, we moved with them.
From South Sudan to Uganda, we were with them. To learn with dignity, we stayed with them.
As we celebrate this World Refugee Day, we still commit to them.
For their education and wellbeing is our purpose for them.

Happy

Bold steps start with a bold handshake. True empowerment is not just about showing up in a shared space. It is about being able to look someone in the eyes and acknowledge their story. As Africa ELI, this connection transforms our beneficiaries to become bosses of themselves.
When we shake hands, we take the first bold step together.

For many children, school becomes a second home where they find love and belonging. Before learning can flourish, love and connection must come first. A reassuring smile, a gentle pat on the back and words of affirmation help learners feel loved, safe and connected.

Let's teach with love and connect with purpose.

Big news! One of our incredible scholars ranks among the top students country-wide in the South Sudan Secondary Exams, also earning the title of top student at his school!

​We were so moved to receive this message from Hamfrey yesterday:

​"As I receive my results, one of the first thoughts that came to my mind was to thank you. This achievement is not mine alone. It reflects the support, encouragement, guidance, and opportunities that you and Africa ELI provided throughout my academic journey. Your belief in me helped shape my confidence, discipline, and determination to succeed"

We are so proud of your hard work, Hamfrey. The future is yours!

School is back and off to an exciting start! Our students are diving deep into the art of videography, moving from observers to active creators. When learning becomes hands-on, the world truly comes alive. It’s real, it’s fun, and the exploration has only just begun!

It’s heartbreaking to think that girls miss school simply because they feel ashamed or unsupported during their periods. They deserve more than just sanitary kits – they deserve compassion, care, and a truly supportive learning environment where they can thrive, no matter what.
Happy Period Friendly Day!

We had an interactive literacy session with our scholars focusing on the storybook “Do You Like Grasshoppers and Chapati?” For our refugee scholars, the story beautifully reflects the power of care, unity, and belonging, reminding them that family is built through compassion and support for one another.
