EdUKaid

Who we are

EdUKaid is a small charity with a big vision. 

Founded in 2003, EdUKaid operates in the rural Mtwara region of southern Tanzania improving access to education for some of the country’s most disadvantaged children.  We achieve this through simple, low cost and locally embedded interventions – giving these children the chance of a better future. In partnership with local stakeholders, we create lasting changes that contribute to the prosperous development of whole communities driven by our belief that education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty in an empowering and sustainable way. 

Our vision and goals

Our vision is  for  a  world  where  every  child  has  access  to  the  education  they  need  to realise  their  full  potential  and  attain  the  skills  to  improve  their  life’s  circumstances.

Our mission  is  to  make  lasting  changes  by  improving  the  provision  and  quality  of education in  the  developing  world  because  we  believe  thatto  learn is  to  live.

Five core values are at the heart of what we do and how we behave:

• Community-led
• Sustainability
• Equality
• Inclusion
• Collaboration

Where problems are great and poverty extreme, the challenge can feel overwhelming. EdUKaid seeks to take small, sustainable steps, encouraging the people we are trying to help to overcome and find solutions to these issues. In this way our progress is authentic, integrated and provides the best way forward.

Put simply, our goals are to

• Engage the communities we work with, head teachers, parents and children
• Research projects and pilot them
• Work within local government and education structures to complement their aims
• Facilitates networking and collaboration across schools
• Empower local people
• Implement simple changes that can have a lasting impact
