Sustainable education

Our mission is to unlock the potential of Africa by delivering equal access to affordable, quality secondary education.

PEAS (Promoting Equality in African Schools) is a UK-based charity. We use an innovative SmartAid model to develop sustainable secondary schools that permanently widen access to secondary education in Uganda and Zambia. Although only one in four Ugandans is able to continue their education beyond primary school because of a lack of secondary school places and high fees. Our dream is that one day every child in Africa will benefit from a quality secondary education.
