Foundation Fix Africa helps hundreds of millions of out-of-school children continue their education — through community-based schools, both in-person and remote learning support and other programs — reaching more children than ever.

And More And More Kids Need Foundation Fix Africa Support:

Learning poverty predates the COVID-19 crisis, and has only deepened since: it is estimated that 70 percent of 10-year-olds in low- and middle-income countries are unable to read and understand a simple story.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of millions of children were left with no access to education for extended periods of time; even those who were able to continue learning remotely suffered learning losses and are still playing catch up.
Prolonged disruptions in education have put tens of millions of students at risk of dropping out permanently; when girls drop out of school, many are forced into early marriage.
Before the pandemic, roughly 230 million teens lacked the math and reading skills needed for jobs that could help lift them out of poverty — and then COVID-19 added more obstacles.
The pandemic and other crises such as severe drought in the Horn of Africa have pushed millions of families deeper into poverty, increasing economic pressures that lead to children to go to work instead of school.
Pandemic-related learning losses could cost today's generation of school-aged children $17 trillion in lifetime earnings.
