About US:

Nine out of ten children in sub-Saharan Africa cannot read a simple sentence by the age of 10. Research shows that if a child cannot read by age 10, they’re significantly less likely to learn other subjects in school and progress to higher education. Consequently, these children will lack the knowledge and skills needed to be a productive part of the economy. Urgent collective action is required to ensure that all African children receive a high-quality education that will equip them to live productive lives. Human Capital Africa was formed to enable this collective action.
