Member Charities that work in Education
In 2005, Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for 43 million of the world’s 115 million children out of school. The situation is particularly troubling for girls, with only one out of four girls in poverty attending school. Through scholarships, distribution of books, math programs and more, Aid for Africa members are making a difference.
