Mission
Africa Classroom Connection builds schools in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, where the lasting effects of apartheid and lack of public funds continue to leave this area desperately underserved. Without classrooms, students are either overcrowded in limited structures and/or taught under trees in harsh conditions and with few resources. During rainy seasons, they are unable to learn at all. ACC helps kids stay in school and get the educational opportunities they deserve. Education is the key to economic and social advancement for rural communities in South Africa.

What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Building Schools. Building Futures.
We raise funds to build much-needed classrooms to allow deserving children the opportunity to learn. Education is the pathway out of poverty. Residents of the region we serve are living with immense economic disparity and unmet needs as a result of historical persecution and lack of resources. The lasting effects of apartheid are still evident. Founded in 2006, Africa Classroom Connection has helped 37,000 kids by building 109 classrooms. More than 100 classrooms remain on our waiting list, some for as long as five years.
