Our Advisory Board brings together a group of experienced educators, professionals, and sector leaders who provide strategic insight to support the growth and impact of Educating Africa.
Advisory Board members contribute expertise, perspective, and networks that help strengthen our programmes, partnerships, and long-term vision. Their guidance supports the organisation in identifying new opportunities, expanding reach, and ensuring our work remains relevant to the evolving needs of girls and communities.
Many of our advisory members work directly within education — as teachers, school leaders, and education professionals — bringing practical understanding of learning environments and the challenges facing students today.
By sharing knowledge, opening networks, and offering strategic advice, the Advisory Board plays an important role in helping Educating Africa continue to grow its impact while remaining grounded in the realities of education.
Together, they help ensure we remain focused on empowering girls through education, future-ready skills, and opportunity.
