About Us
We are an active funder and champion of the role played by the affordable non-state sector in complementing state provision to meet national education goals
We’re agile enough to fund and invest in programs and organizations where an assumed risk may prevent other donors participating.
‘Rafiki Elimu’ which is a Swahili statement that means Friends of Education, is a non-profitable organisation established in 2016 by academicians within the Zanzibar community, Tanzania.
