EDUCATION SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA 

The object of the Charity is for the public benefit to advance education in Sub-Saharan Africa. ESSA will play a vital role in transforming education: boosting the work of others, focusing on impact and outcomes and spreading best practice. In this way we aim to improve the effectiveness of investment in education, especially where systems are most challenged.
Analysis by Giving is Great
