Friends of Education Africa UK supports the work of Education Africa by raising awareness and funding for its programmes in South Africa. Guided by a mission of Poverty Alleviation through Education, Education Africa focuses on Early Childhood Development (ECD), teacher training, and arts projects such as the Marimba Project, expanding access to quality, relevant education in underserved communities. Funds raised in the UK contribute directly to programmes that improve the quality of early learning, strengthen teaching practice, and create safe, engaging spaces for children to grow and learn. This includes SAQA-accredited teacher training, ongoing mentorship, and creative education programmes that build confidence, skills, and social cohesion. As a UK-based support network, Friends of Education Africa helps connect donors and partners to meaningful, measurable impact, contributing to long-term educational outcomes and stronger communities.
