Our Vision

ESSA’s vision is to transform education: increasing employment for young people in sub-Saharan Africa.

Examples of our work

Scholarship Impact Millions of people across the world's youngest continent are at risk of missing out on furthering their education and getting decent jobs. University and college scholarships are on the rise. Yet, they need to change dramatically to become more inclusive, focused on impact, and reach a significant amount of young people to help solve this challenge. In the wake of COVID-19, the situation is ever more urgent.
