“Poverty Eradication Begins With Education”
Backpacks
We provide students with fully stocked backpacks filled with essential school supplies, ensuring they have the tools they need to learn with confidence. This program helps remove basic barriers to education and supports students from their very first day of school.
Scholorships
Our scholarship program covers school fees for high-achieving students who lack the financial means to continue their education. By investing in their potential, we help create new opportunities for future leaders.
Classroom Rebuild
We restore and rebuild classrooms to create safe, welcoming, and functional learning environments. These improvements directly enhance students’ daily learning experience and support long-term academic success.
Breaking the Cycle Through Learning
Recognizing that education is the foundation for breaking cycles of poverty, our programs ensure students can learn in dignity, safety, and opportunity.
Because lasting poverty eradication begins with access to quality education, we focus on removing the barriers that keep students from learning and thriving.
Changing Lives Through Education
Founded in 2014 by Sara Mwamlima, Backpacks for Africa has transformed the lives of hundreds of students across Southeast African countries, many of whom have continued on to universities.
