Story

Warwick in Africa (WinA) has developed over five years from a small student volunteering project to a multi-layered programme which supports learners, highly talented learners and their teachers with maths and English education in South Africa, Tanzania and Ghana.

Its fundamental aim is to enhance the education of young people in Africa, a direct route to liberation from poverty. The Warwick in Africa project is achieving significant improvements in the quality of teaching, in attendance and performance as well as many other important benefits for everyone involved.

 

This summer I am going out to Alex Township in South Africa to teach mathematics as part of the Warwick in Africa scheme.  This page is to help raise funds to purchase supplies and equipment to help improve the education of pupils in the schools in this region.

Where the Warwick in Africa scheme is supported by the University of Warwick, a much higher percentage of our fundraising goes directly into helping the students in Africa.

As well as general fundraising for this project, I am aiming to complete the Three Peaks Challenge in which I will scale the highest peaks in Scotland (Ben Nevis), England (Scafell Pike) and Wales (Snowdon) in a 24 hour period.
