For Immediate Release
Arusha, Tanzania – Education in Crisis (EiC) is proud to announce the launch of its ambitious Strategic Plan 2025-2029, setting the stage for transformative advancements in quality education across Africa. Building on its flagship Foundational Scholars Program, which began in 2020 with just two out-of-school girls in the Nuba Mountains, Sudan, EiC has grown to support over 200 children in five countries. This growth has been fueled by the generous contributions of foundational donors and a steadfast commitment to education as a fundamental right.
Central to the new plan is the bold “1 Million Africans Campaign,” a groundbreaking initiative aimed at mobilizing one million Africans to contribute $1 each. This effort will support scaling up education programs for children and youth left furthest behind, ensuring their right to quality education and the opportunity to fulfill their dreams.
“Left Behind, Right Behind”: A Call to Action
The Strategic Plan embodies EiC’s rallying cry, “Left Behind, Right Behind”, highlighting the urgency of addressing the barriers faced by marginalized groups while fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders to achieve shared educational goals.
“Our mission remains rooted in making education accessible to every child, everywhere. This plan not only reflects our dedication to scaling our impact but also the resilience and potential of Africa’s children and youth. Today we reaffirm our commitment to being right behind those left furthest behind in accessing quality education as their fundamental human right” George Omer Nalo, Founder & Executive Director – EiC.
A Vision for the Future
The Strategic Plan 2025-2029 outlines EiC’s programmatic priorities and results-oriented approach, focusing on:
- Expanding access to quality education for displaced and marginalized children.
- Leveraging innovation and technology to address education emergencies.
- Strengthening Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) frameworks to ensure accountability and impact.
- Catalyzing partnerships to build resilient education systems that leave no one behind.
Call for Partnership and Support
EiC invites governments, donors, civil society organizations, and individuals to join Africa’s largest education movement to redefine education in Africa. Together, we can uplift those furthest behind and ensure that no child is left out of the promise of a brighter future with our right support behind them.
