“Happy 30th anniversary Education Africa. Thank you for playing an integral role in my career as a communications manager. I will never forget my experience as a SAMUN participant and how it shaped me into the Communications expert that I am today!

In a country where there is great social inequality, education is critical to bridge rather than entrench this divide. The sterling work done by the professional team at Education Africa to understand, develop and support schools in emerging communities has positively changed so many young lives and in celebrating this milestone, we hope they continue to make this meaningful impact for decades to come.

What an incredible three-decade long journey this has been! Education Africa has helped foster meaningful change in South Africa and, through the commitment and dedication of James and the team, has provided a better future for thousands of young lives. Keep up the good work and here’s to the exciting chapters ahead!

“It seems like it was yesterday when Education Africa first made its forays into the fabric of the country’s poor communities with a strong resolve to improve their fortunes. Like in any mission when entering unchartered territories, Education Africa encountered numerous challenges. The resolve and steadfastness of the men and women who spearheaded this initiative, ensured that we remained true to our founding mission and soldiered on tirelessly. Thirty years on the work still continues, which is an admirable milestone. Thanks for your selflessness. We raise our glasses to the next thirty years. Congratulations!

To James and the team at Education Africa How does one celebrate such an important milestone? Thirty years of Making real change Happen is no joke! The passion and drive you display in consistently making a positive difference through your education initiatives to previously disadvantaged communities in South Africa, regardless of difficult circumstances, speaks volumes. We are a country filled with possibilities because of people like you. To you and your inspirational team, Happy 30th Anniversary, and cheers to another 30 years!

Many congratulations to Education Africa on your 30th birthday. To have achieved so much in this time is fantastic and to have made such a significant difference to the lives of so many children is remarkable. Seeing just some of impact of these many initiatives as one of your partners has been a privilege and I wish you every success for years to come.
