Educating thousands of children with one simple model.

In Africa the barrier to education is often as simple as four walls. There are teachers. There are children who want to learn. What's missing is the room to do it. 

BAS solves that specific problem. We build schools.

In 2007 and 2010, Serena Williams partnered with Hewlett-Packard and Build African Schools to fund and open two secondary schools in rural Kenya — the Matooni Secondary School and the Wee Secondary School. Both schools are fully integrated into Kenya's national education system and remain open today.

Serena attended the opening of the Wee school in person, meeting students and community members in Kilili Village. In this video, she speaks about what connecting children to education means.
