  Education can overcome poverty

  Global School Partners partner schools in Australia with schools in Africa to create an environment of mutual support and learning between the schools, the teachers and the students.

  Specifically the Australian school has opportunities each year to give material support to their partner school, such as educational supplies (like pens, pencils and exercise books), reading and reference books, educational resources and sports equipment.

  Global School Partners also facilitates projects for the African schools following close consultation with the school community, to assist their development into a self sufficient, sustainable community.

  Our mission is to increase the opportunity and likelihood of individuals in poverty affected areas of the world, to complete their schooling and excel in school education. We believe education can enable the individual to break free of their poverty circumstance.

  Our vision is to empower the school communities through development of sustainable programs, undertaken by the communities themselves for their own benefit with Global School Partners facilitating and supervising.

  We invite you to join with us on this mission – Get Involved
