Our Impact
Why Education Matters
We agree with Nelson Mandela that education is the most powerful tool to change the world and as Kofi Annan, the former UN Secretary-General of the United Nations, once said, "Knowledge is power. Information is liberating. Education is the premise of progress in every society, in every family."
Education is a powerful tool that empowers individuals to change their destinies, challenge social inequalities, advocate for change, and improve local communities. It is a bedrock of democracy, allowing people to question oppressive policies and create equal opportunities.
