Highlighting Stories of Success
As always, we are proud of all our students, but we wish to highlight two special children:
Our Mission
To build and run a new generation school for Ethiopia’s most vulnerable children to inspire positive, long-term social change
What We Do
NAEF’s mission is to build an educated community of future leaders in Ethiopia.
The charity has earned a reputation for changing the social structure in Gondar by developing some of Ethiopia’s most employable young adults.
We aim to deliver a well-rounded education based on values of respect, responsibility, honesty and kindness.
We have created an educational and communal centre at St George’s School, with the potential to impact the immediate community of 50,000 people.
What have we done so far?
Construction of a high-quality campus in Gondar, Ethiopia, delivering primary school education based on the English curriculum
Empowered local children to be self-disciplined and confident, building into responsible citizens with a sense of duty and responsibility
Helping these children to develop their future employability, bringing prosperity to their families and local community
Sponsoring a child at NAEF connects one of our wonderful children with a brilliant sponsor like you!
We suggest a monthly sponsorship of £40 or an annual sum of £480 which is enough to provide all necessary materials for a year at our school.
NAEF is the perfect opportunity for sponsorship as you will see your child grow and develop.
Why Ethiopia?
A world transformed by the power of education, in which every child, every family and every community has the chance to thrive.
For any child, no matter where in the world they live, a proper education provides a sustainable basis for a healthy, successful life. For children living in poverty, education is even more vital.
Moved by the struggles of children in Ethiopia - many of them among the world’s poorest and most deprived - we decided to build a school that would provide not just an education, but one that integrates the very best of the British education system with the current Ethiopian curriculum.
Since its beginnings in 2012, Northwood African Education Foundation (NAEF) has grown from the germ of an idea into St George’s School, Gondar, in northern Ethiopia. Through St George’s we aim to improve not just the children’s life chances but those of their families and the wider community, as well as inspiring long-term social change in Ethiopia by raising educational standards.
“When a child starts at St George’s School, we know they have a formative schooling path ahead of them. It’s a path we wholeheartedly believe can change lives”
