PROMOTING EQUALITY IN AFRICAN SCHOOLS
Activities
As described by the charity on the register
PEAS founds and manages sustainably financed secondary schools in Africa in response to massive excess demand for affordable secondary education. We also support governments to improve 100s of schools in the countries we work. PEAS schools fund running costs from a mixture of very low fees, income generating projects and government subsidy. As of 2024, we run 36 schools across Uganda and Zambia.
