Be Our Superhero when you support the education of a child for a whole year

Join us in supporting the education of 10 million children across Africa

Join The Superhero League serving vulnerable children across Africa every year

When you give to Slum2School, your donation goes directly to funding educational solutions for children in underserved and remote communities. We won’t stop until every child has access to quality education. Our Superhero community helps us do just that.

We provide holistic, people-centered solutions for children; educational scholarships – including health and psycho-social support, teacher support, skills and talent development and learning infrastructure development.

The Superhero League is essential to our program implementation. We count on these gifts to fill in any funding gaps and enable us to fund our programming, scale successful models and achieve sustained change in underserved communities.

The Superheroes Are Rising With Hope, Courage, and Love, to protect the rights of children and champion the cause of a better Africa.

Library & Innovation Lab

Every Green Academy includes a library, STEM and Innovation lab, giving children access to books, technology, and digital resources. This opens doors to coding, research, and global learning experiences that prepare them for the future.

8

Biogas Systems

Waste from the school is converted into biogas through a clean, closed-loop system. This provides safe cooking energy and powers the backup generator – reducing pollution, improving sanitation, and teaching children about renewable energy in action.

 
7

Full Annual Scholarships

Each Green Academy provides 250+ underserved children with free, high-quality education. Scholarships cover tuition and also books, meals, healthcare, psychosocial support, and skills development, ensuring every child has the tools to thrive.

Open-Air Design

Classrooms are designed with circular, open-air structures that maximize natural airflow and light. This reduces heat, lowers energy use, and creates healthier learning environments, without the need for costly air conditioning.

Rainwater Systems

Green Academies are built with rooftop rainwater collection systems. Rainwater is stored, filtered, and treated to provide safe drinking water for students, teachers, and the wider community-improving health and reducing time spent fetching water.

Gardens & Biodiversity

Outdoor gardens and biodiversity spaces make learning hands-on and holistic. Children grow food, study ecosystems, and learn sustainable
agriculture. These green spaces also support nutrition programs, providing fresh produce for students.

3

Satellite Internet

For many communities, Green Academies provide their very first internet connection. Through satellite technology, children gain access to digital learning, global knowledge, and virtual mentorship. It also connects teachers and families to new opportunities and resources.

Solar Power

Every Green Academy runs fully on clean solar energy. This ensures classrooms, labs, and digital tools stay powered without reliance on
unstable grids or generators. With solar, learning continues seamlessly, even at night or during power cuts.
