African children are the future of the continent. Their education is key to future economic growth and lasting democracy, leading to greater stability and improved standards of living. The current state of education in Africa, however, is plagued by a lack of funds, teachers, textbooks, and transparency. Consider:

• Primary school enrollments and literacy rates in Africa are among the lowest in the world.
• 72 million children in Africa are not enrolled in school.
• 57% of those children are girls
• Many children cannot afford to go or stay in primary school.
