Endelea,
empowering a
brighter future
“We believe equitable education and inclusive communities can create the sustainable development all children deserve.”
One realization that has come from the experiences of recent decades is that poverty is both a cause and an outcome of low educational enrolments. Sustainable and inclusive communities that provide qualitative educational services and solid mental support increase the likelihood that children will attend and complete schooling.
Endelea empowers local African communities through education and mental health to become inclusive, self-sufficient and prosperous.
Education is a human right and a powerful driver of all kinds of development. But without good mental health, people feel unable or less able to carry out activities of daily living, including self-care, education, employment and participation in social life. Breaking the cycle requires an unwavering long-term technological and digital investment.
Why Education and Mental Health
Sub-Saharan Africa
Today, Africa has the world’s largest population of young people. According to the UN World’s Population Prospects, over 60% of Africa’s population is currently under 25. The continent has the opportunity to become one of the fastest growing areas in the world.
Yet, children go to primary schools that lack electricity, computers and good connectivity to digital resources. Education and Wellbeing are the main drivers for Africa’s development. All areas that sit in the core of the community:
Education is critical for development and helps lay the foundations for social wellbeing, economic growth and security, gender equality and peace. Community wellbeing requires a comprehensive and coordinated response for mental health to support the interruption of negative cycles of poverty, violence, environmental degradation and mental disorders.
