At lessons for life we believe education changes everything. In sub-saharan africa over 93 million children are out of school and just 25% of those that go to school complete their education. So, we work with local partners to help thousands of vulnerable children in africa access a quality education. Since 2008, we have helped over 85,000 children, family and community members.
