SFA: Schools for Africa

Schools for Africa became the Society's first official international project in 2010. Members have donated, as of January 2013, $120,665 to the project from 2010-2013. Currently the project works with 11 countries in sub-Saharan Africa including Angola, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, Ethiopia and Madagascar.  The Schools for Africa mission involves providing access to quality basic education for children, focusing on girls, orphans and other vulnerable youngsters.
UNICEF works through this project with governments, local authorities, communities and other partners to:
  • Foster community participation in school management
  • Build and improve classroom buildings and equipment
  • Create safe and protective environments where children can learn and play(CFS, Child-Friendly School programs)
  • Provide access to clean water and separate sanitation facilities for boys and girls in schools
  • Supply exercise books, pens, proper furniture and other school and sports materials
  • Train teachers to provide children with quality education and basic life skills
  • Educate children about proper hygiene and HIV prevention: this knowledge is passed on to siblings, parents, and the community at large
  • Provide other interventions, including but not limited to health check-ups, immunization and scholarships
  • Insure a stimulating start in life to children below age five

According to UNICEF's most recent annual report on the Schools for Africa project, major gains have been made in:
  • Early childhood development
  • Access and retention to quality primary basic education
  • Non-formal education
  • HIV prevention in schools
  • Education in emergencies
