We are delighted to announce Teach With Africa’s 17th Anniversary Celebration event on March 26th. Our mission is even more important today as we grapple with global inequities in education, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa.
During this annual celebration, we celebrate you, our valued supporters, who help us fund core needs and programs that transform education in the African and Bay Area communities we serve.
Chef Adair will provide gourmet cuisine along with fine wines. Come enjoy music, silent auction, and a Fund-A-Need as we honor Rachel Hollister, an amazing educator.
Since its inception, Teach With Africa’s annual fundraiser has presented guests with an opportunity to learn how TWA maintains its reputation as a transformative agent of change. We have impacted over 175,000 students, sent 200 U.S. educators to Africa, and partnered with over 25 U.S. schools that have hosted more than 4,500 South African educators.
Please join us in making your own mark on Global Education at this celebratory event!
