Education without Borders (EwB) aims to provide improved educational opportunities and facilities in the poorly-resourced townships of South Africa.
Formed in 2002 in Vancouver and granted charitable status in 2003, EwB believes that the development of knowledge and skills gives individuals greater control over their lives and more possibilities and choices for their future. Enhanced educational opportunities build communities from within, and facilitate bridging between communities.
We seek to fulfill this mandate through our own initiatives and fundraising, as well as through grants and partnerships with other non-profit organizations in B.C., Canada and abroad.
Currently, our efforts are focused on Fezeka Secondary and Songeze Middle School in the township of Gugulethu, outside of Cape Town.
Since 2002, EwB has raised more than $700,000 for educational projects in South Africa. We are a fully volunteer-run organization.
