Sebastien Breteau founded the Breteau Foundation in 2013, a non-profit organisation with a vision to provide access to quality education for all children, regardless of background or location. Starting as a pilot with its flagship EdTech Tablet Programme in two schools and 50 students in South Africa, the Breteau Foundation has rapidly expanded to 13 countries and now supports over 100,000 childre
n. The Foundation partners with schools, NGOs and local governments which most recently includes a partnership with the Western Cape Education Department in South Africa that will roll out teacher training across the district and impact 50,000 children who will receive tablets, preloaded with educational apps in numeracy, literacy, critical thinking and creativity. In addition to the EdTech Tablet Programme, the Foundation runs a number of hybrid and offline initiatives to accommodate diverse learning settings and remote environments. In 2022, education programmes launched in shelters and community centres in Ukraine which borrowed from the success and learnings from our work with refugee children in Lebanon. The Foundation is led by a team of passionate educators based in the UK, South Africa, Lebanon, Ukraine and Latin America and Caribbean region who continue to provide pedagogical and localised expertise to enhance quality education for children.
