Bridging Education Gap is a registered not for profit organization with a drive to transform Africa’s education system by providing the enabling materials for schools and pupils in low-income communities to promote equitable and quality education.
Why We Exist
Promoting equity in schools is an invaluable social investment that gives children a deeper perspective and knowledge both about themselves and the world around them, and thereby empowers them to make wise decisions for their future.
We are persisted in bridging the education gap, by providing those critical core supplies in a backpack to Africa’s most vulnerable students and ensure these student continue learning without placing the financial burden on teachers to furnish their classroom needs.
The lack of teachers, inadequate learning materials, and makeshift classes makes learning difficult for many students. This has also led to chronic absenteeism and rampant teacher burnout.
We believe access to basic school teaching and learning supplies is one way to make a difference in this fight.
With proper resources at their disposal, students can have the confidence to return to school day in and day out. Teachers, too, are empowered to do their best work when they are supported with the resources they need to maintain effective, equitable learning environments.
We envision a world where every child, despite their color, tribe or background has equal opportunity and access to quality education.
Our Mission
By partnering with schools, teachers and students in under-resourced communities, we provide the support needed for teachers to teach and learners to learn.
Our Vision
We believe every child in Africa should have equal opportunity and access to a quality education.
