Built to Scale
Our models are specifically designed to scale: built on best scaling practices and continual self-evaluation. We are now the largest youth skills provider in East Africa. Educate!’s long-term vision is to design solutions that measurably impact millions of youth across Africa each year. Read more about how Educate! scales our impact.
Sustainable, Systems-Level Change
Educate! works hand-in-hand with governments towards system-level adoption of skills-based, education and employment solutions. We have integrated core components of our models into the national curricula of Uganda, Rwanda, and Kenya. Read more about our government engagement.
Cost Effective
Educate! reaches a large number of youth at a low cost by delivering our model using existing school infrastructures, engaging exceptional Educate! graduates as mentors, and implementing innovative technologies to cost-effectively deliver, manage, and monitor strategic portions of our models across great distances.
Emphasis on Evaluation
We invest deeply in monitoring & evaluation, and our rigorous evaluations, including a randomized controlled trial (RCT), found that, toward the end of secondary, participants earn nearly 2x the income of peers. A follow-up RCT found that our graduates, 4 years later, achieve strong and lasting shifts in skills, coupled with significant improvements in education and gender-related outcomes.
