EDUCATION
We believe in education. In creating opportunities. In providing sustainable skills to break the cycle of poverty and empower individuals to shape their own future. Our education projects span several areas, including building schools in Zambia, offering scholarships in Indonesia, upskilling teachers in Cambodia and providing computer labs in rural Honduras, so that children are able to complete their education.

School for Life
Founded in 2008, School for Life (SFL) has a vision – to provide high-quality education to children in rural Uganda. Since then, it has tripled its capacity, to support more than 1000 children through primary and senior education, whilst employing 120 nationals. Across its three locations, SFL offers nutrition and clean water, vocational training for adult community members, healthcare services and agriculture programmes to support local economic development. Together, this holistic model can be scaled and replicated, to help change many more thousand lives.
The Nadia and Alf Taylor Foundation is proud to have supported SFL in the construction of schools, accommodation for teachers and access roads, as well as funding essential operational costs. Our aim is to ensure SFL’s integral needs are always met.

Zambia’s Child
With an intent to encourage self-sufficiency, Zambia’s Child (ZC) is committed to providing education for under-privileged or orphaned children, especially school drop-outs. The Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) also provides adult skills training, literacy classes and emergency assistance to those in need. The ZC school supports 180 students in grades one to six, employing 11 staff members, from the local area.
Our foundation has had the privilege of working with ZC to construct classrooms – adding a new class of 30 students each year. In every 3-classroom module, we include an amenities block, outdoor kitchen, chicken run and security/storage post.
