For more than 30 years, EducAid has been a powerful force for education in Sierra Leone, transforming the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people through free, high-quality education.
EducAid is more than schools. Currently working with more than 300 partner schools across the country, our work improves education at multiple levels, advances gender equality, and community resilience in Sierra Leone.
Change starts with one student. When a single student gains access to quality education, the impact ripples outward, lifting families, strengthening communities, and shaping the future of an entire nation. EducAid’s influence goes beyond the classroom, driving systemic change and helping to shape the global education landscape.

Running Schools
EducAid provides free, high-quality education to under-served young people within our 5 role model schools (on 3 sites).
The effectiveness of EducAid’s student-centred approach to education is demonstrated by our students, who regularly achieve some of the best exam results in Sierra Leone despite coming from backgrounds which present a multitude of challenges.
EducAid's teaching staff are also mainly past EducAid students - a testament to the sustainability and impact of our work.
