Promoting Equality in African Schools

Promoting equality in African Schools

PEAS founds and develops low-fee secondary schools that widen access to secondary
education in Uganda, where there is currently very limited free secondary schooling. At the time
of writing, government schools charge between 30% and 500% more than those run by PEAS.

PEAS currently operates from Kampala, Uganda, where the government's recent provision of Universal Primary Education (UPE) is at risk of being undermined by a huge shortfall of affordable places at secondary level. Funds raised by Promoting Equality in African Schools pay for the start-up capital costs of school building projects. This means that PEAS schools have lower running costs and lower fees. Quite simply, PEAS makes quality secondary education available to far more young Ugandans.

At the point of writing we have 1 established school operating very successfully and have 2 more across Uganda that are opening in February 2008.
