About GATE

Global Alliance for Technology and Education (GATE) in Africa is a nonprofit organization that is bringing together a community of interest and creating partnerships to help improve the education and technology challenges facing many high schools in Africa.

Core Objectives

• Advance Technology and Improve Education in High schools in Africa
• Create and preserve partnerships with individuals, social groups and companies to foster the growth of technology and education in Africa
• Build a sustainable community by empowering entrepreneurs with knowledge, capital, and resources needed to succeed in today’s global economy.

According to UNESCO Institute for Statistics:

• Less than one-third of children in Africa can read and write
• One-in-five children in primary school repeat grade in Africa
• More than half of all girls in Africa never enroll in school

Without a doubt, there has been much awareness about the critical state of the continent and many have seen the need to take bold steps to help, but have repeatedly ask how to impact the “people” of Africa. How can one reach out and touch a live in Africa? These are the questions the GATE seeks to answer.
