More information
Promoting Equality in African Schools (Peas) is a UK based charity. Our current work focuses on Uganda, where the government's recent provision of Universal Primary Education (UPE) is at risk of being undermined by a huge shortfall of affordable places at secondary level. Funds raised by Promoting Equality in African Schools pay for the start-up capital costs of school building projects. This means that PEAS schools have lower running costs and lower fees. Quite simply, PEAS makes quality secondary education available to far more young Ugandans. As well as founding schools, PEAS, in conjunction with London's Teach First programme, uses volunteers to help transfer best practice from UK schools to the newly built schools in Africa.
