  Penryn College
Penryn College near Nelspruit in Mpumalanga is an Education Africa-supported school. We assisted the school by building a library and a boarding house for disadvantaged students and were also involved in the supply of computer equipment for the school.
 "Live a Dream" essay competition
Education Africa held a "Live a Dream" essay competition in conjunction with SAB in 2003. School children were challenged to "go big" and write an essay about their dream career. Winners were awarded prizes at each participating school, and the writers of the top three essays were invited to attend a career guidance seminar and learn about chemical engineering.

Financial Mail Surveys
In 1999 and 2000, Education Africa published surveys in the Financial Mail to place on record the state of education, both nationally and at provincial level. The surveys were part of the publicity campaign for The Education Africa, Presidential and Premier Education Awards.
 
Construction of libraries
In 1999, Education Africa, in conjunction with READ Educational Trust, facilitated the funding for the construction of libraries at Mveledzandivho Primary School and Dr Mary Malahlela Primary School.
 Aggrey Klaaste
It is often the vision of one man that makes a difference, and Aggrey Klaaste was such a man. In 1991, he was one of the key people who helped create Education Africa and he held the position of chairman of our organisation for 12 years.
When we formed Education Africa, Aggrey advised us not to reinvent the wheel but to use available expertise to achieve success," says executive director James Urdang.
"He was always on hand to guide us, not only myself but also my colleagues. His advice and support always gave us the strength we needed to move forward."
