Education Africa is an NGO based in South Africa that designs programs aimed at empowering youth through programs and opportunities that create social cohesion within the country, and provide international exposure. The organization was founded 25 years ago by our current CEO, James Urdang. After experiencing his own challenges with education and the social conditions in the country, James was inspired to do more. Education Africa prides itself on "making real change happen." But what does that mean? For us, it’s about execution of our unique programs. We have created a series of programs and projects that tackle the educational and social challenges facing South Africa. Our signature programs include: The Education Africa Model United Nations Early Childhood Development International Arts & Culture Recently featured on CNN International’s Inside Africa!
