The Rural Africa Children's Education Trust (RACET) is a UK registered Charity founded in 2008 to enable children and young adults in rural villages in Cross River State attend secondary school and further education through financial support from donors in Britain.

In the communities where RACET works, poverty is endemic. Most villagers are subsistence farmers or fishermen living hand to mouth who struggle with the bare essentials of life. In this context, parents are forced to choose which, if any, of their children receive secondary education. Frequently the boys are favoured over girls. RACET works to ensure female students have equal access to education at both secondary and university levels.

In order to improve the quality of education available in this remote area, RACET has provided three learning centres equipped with 30 computers, all solar powered and containing digital courses in maths, sciences and computing. The provision of this technology has resulted in more students passing their secondary school leaving exams and gaining admission to university.

RACET currently supports 26 university students, but with the assistance of VIN Club and the Inspiring Futures Fund, you can help RACET to increase that number to 100 university students.
