The organisers of the 2014 Value Investor Conference are pleased that the Conference raised a total of £33,025 for School Aid.

Established in 1998 School Aid improves the quality of education in Africa by redistributing teaching and learning materials to African schools in disadvantaged communities.

Our priority countries are Tanzania, South Africa, Lesotho, and Malawi. We work where we have local volunteers and partners on the ground to ensure the resources requested reach their destination. In total 80 volunteers, 1363 schools and partners in the UK and Africa help to identify and supply each school’s needs for teaching and learning resources.

Each year we distribute more than 79,000 books to around 100 African schools, improving the literacy skills, educational opportunities and employment prospects of 50,000+ children. Our aim is to increase our reach and impact year on year.

Our vision is an Africa where all schools are self- sustaining and the teaching and learning environment enables students to fulfil their potential, preparing young African to meet the developmental, social and economic needs of their country.

School Aid is a registered charity in South Africa and the UK. Please visit our website for further details.
