What We Do
Where We Work
Talent and potential exist in everyone, but opportunities are not always equally accessible.
Impactful Education partners with schools in Anyama, Côte d’Ivoire to create library-based learning hubs that provide marginalized youth with books, technology, and the skills they need to thrive.
Inspired by our founder’s lived experience growing up in Anyama during Côte d’Ivoire’s civil war, our locally led model expands educational opportunities, empowers young people, and helps build a more equitable future through education.
OUR VISION
To harness the power of education as a driving force to transform communities.
What We Do
Inspired by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4, 5, 8, and 16), Impactful Education expands access to literacy, digital skills, and leadership through our learning hubs. We empower underserved youth in Côte d’Ivoire with the knowledge and opportunities to thrive and become the next generation of change makers.
Our Unique Approach
At the core of our educational hubs lies a transformative, community-driven approach that not only bridges educational gaps in rural areas but also fosters the development of young peacemakers and leaders.
Through our E2LT model (Engage, Empower, Lead, and Transform) we enable young people to learn, practice, and teach, ensuring that the learning is not just theoretical but actively applied within their communities.
Hear From Our Young Learners
Sangare Fanta
Our school added library classes to our schedule, so now I get at least an hour each week to work on my reading, writing, and technology skills. Before, I used to visit the library in my free time, but now our scheduled library class will help me boost my grades.
The library is my practice spot where learning is fun and stress-free. It is a place I keep coming back to, where no one judges you for what you don’t know.
Camara Mohamed
The hub is the favorite spot for my friends and me to do homework, participate in activities, and ask questions. In our regular classes, it is hard to get one-on-one attention because they’re so large, but here we can work in smaller groups. I feel much more comfortable asking questions and collaborating with my peers.
Oulaide Marie
The library has become an essential part of my learning, especially when I struggle with challenging subjects like physics, biology, or math. Before, I didn’t always have the resources I needed to fully understand these topics. Now, I can use the internet at the library to do research and find explanations for concepts I don’t understand in class. Whether it is looking up tutorials or finding books, the library gives me the tools I was missing to succeed. I am grateful for this support.
Soro Donignion
Coming to the library has also allowed me to work on my dream of becoming an architect. Through coding, I have created digital stories where buildings are the main focus, and I am learning the basics of design along the way. I invite all my friends to use the library too—it is a great place to make our dreams come true.
