Amala Education

Who we are

Amala’s mission is to use the power of education to transform the lives of young refugees, their communities and the world.

We are a start-up non profit organisation with big ambitions to create a deep and lasting impact for young people who are displaced. We have developed the first international high school diploma for out of school refugee and crisis-affected youth, and we also offer non-formal education courses on topics such as Peace-building, Ethical Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship.

What makes Amala’s approach to education unique is our human-centred approach, context-inclusive curriculum and learning programmes that are relevant to the lives that our students lead today and will lead in the future. Through running our own programmes as well as in collaboration with partners, we have reached more than 2,500 young refugees in countries such as Jordan, Greece, Kenya, Malaysia and Uganda.

Our team comprises 22 members, based in the United Kingdom, Singapore, Greece, Jordan and Kenya. Together, we are on an ambitious growth trajectory, aiming to bring transformational learning to at least 5,000 learners globally by 2024 before pursuing more rapid growth towards 2030.
