School Partnership Program

The Ubunye Challenge School Partnership Program is a program set-up to directly connect schools from around the world with students we support in Southern Africa.

As part of the program, Partner Schools select and fundraise for specific projects for our Partners on the Ground (Ubunye Foundation in South Africa and Vimba in Zimbabwe), and through this fundraising, Ubunye Challenge facilitates an ongoing relationship between the Partner School and students they are supporting.

Through the School Partnership Program, we aim to increase the impact we can have on the lives of students we work with, connect students to their global peers, and together, improve access to early childhood education in Southern Africa.
