Africans Rising for Justice, Peace and Dignity is a Pan-African movement of over 30,000 individual members and 800 organizations working across the continent and diaspora to push governments, businesses, and established national and global NGOs to focus on the issues Africans deem critical. The organization provides a space for progressive African civil society leaders and groups engaged in various civic struggles to convene, connect, collaborate, share knowledge, and build solidarity among people and across issues.
“Being awarded for your work that is promoting unity, justice, peace and dignity, is not just about the awards but also a recognition of your credibility and transformation of Africans. It is important to ensure that your work reflects the values of an African continent we all desire such that the members of Africans Rising amplify your voice.”
Founded in August 2019, Education in Crisis (EIC) is a Non-Governmental Organization with head office located in Arusha, Tanzania. The youth-led organisation works strategically to invest in quality education by bringing together monthly resources to support the African child and youth impacted by poverty, conflicts, illiteracy etc. by empowering them with education as a sustainable tool. They work on providing access to quality education, gender equality, climate education, mental health, psychosocial support, and teacher development.
Being named the second runner-up in the Movement of the Year category in the 2022 Africans Rising Activism Awards means a recognition of our work in the communities in which we operate and a new partnership with Africans Rising Movement, which is an important achievement. It has given us credibility and encouragement to keep mobilising and doing more to transform the lives of millions on the continent whose education is in crisis by promoting inclusive, equitable, quality education for all.
We work with local grassroot communities, activists and supporters of the right to education, teachers, professionals, students, community leaders, civil society organisations, policy makers, educationists, private sector and businesses, and schools and institutions with an aim to enhance free and quality education for all groups, including those with disabilities and girls.
