Overview
A grant to TrustAfrica would help the organization manage a regional program of small grants to stimulate and support innovation in basic education. TrustAfrica would work in Uganda, Kenya, Mali, and Senegal to help develop an education system capable of producing the critical skills of entrepreneurship, inventiveness, and risk taking that Africa needs for development. The new grant would apply to basic education, TrustAfrica’s approach of meetings, technical assistance, and grantmaking that is currently used for higher education.
