Educate 365: Transforming lives through education

On January 24, 2025, the Dr. Kester Awani Foundation will proudly launch ‘Educate 365’, an ambitious initiative aimed at addressing educational inequality and empowering communities through the transformative power of learning.

To commemorate the launch on the International Day of Education, the foundation will send 50 out-of-school children back to school, marking the first milestone in its mission to ensure that education becomes accessible to all.

Why Educate 365?

Education is the foundation for building a better future. Yet, millions of children worldwide remain out of school, deprived of opportunities to realise their full potential. Educate 365, an initiative of the Dr. Kester Awani Foundation, seeks to bridge this gap by providing resources, opportunities, and support for children and young adults to access quality education.

Speaking about the initiative, founder of the foundation, Dr. Kester Awani, said: “Education is not just a right; it is a catalyst for change. Through Educate 365, we are committed to creating a society where every child, no matter their circumstances, has the chance to learn, grow, and thrive.”

Marking the Launch: Sending 50 Children Back to School

To honour the launch of Educate 365, the foundation is giving 50 out-of-school children the opportunity to return to the classroom. These children will receive school fees, uniforms, learning materials, and ongoing mentorship to support their academic journey.

This initiative highlights the urgent need to address barriers to education, including poverty, gender inequality, and access to resources. By restoring hope and opportunity to these children, Educate 365 is taking a powerful step toward creating a brighter and more equitable future.

What Educate 365 Aims to Achieve

At its core, Educate 365 is a year-long initiative that seeks to make a measurable impact every single day by doing the following.

Providing Access: Enrolling out-of-school children in schools and supporting them with the resources they need to succeed.

Promoting Equity: Ensuring that education is inclusive, especially for marginalised groups such as girls, children with disabilities, and those in underserved communities.

Empowering Communities: Offering adult literacy programmes, vocational training, and mentorship to equip individuals with life skills.

Sustaining Change: Partnering with schools, governments, and organisations to build lasting systems of support for education.

Educate 365 is not just about education; it is about empowerment, transformation, and creating a future where learning knows no barriers.

Kester Awani: A Champion for Education

The vision behind Educate 365 comes from Dr. Kester Awani, a philanthropist and advocate for social change. As the founder of the Dr. Kester Awani Foundation, he has dedicated his life to addressing systemic challenges and creating opportunities for growth.

Awani firmly believes that education is the most powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty. His leadership and passion for making a difference have been instrumental in shaping the foundation’s impact across communities.

“Education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it is about creating opportunities, inspiring hope, and unlocking potential,” says Awani.

Join the Movement

As Educate 365 launches on the International Day of Education, the Dr. Kester Awani Foundation invites everyone—individuals, organisations, and governments—to join this movement. Together, we can ensure that every child, regardless of their background, has the chance to learn and succeed.

Whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteering, your support can help make education a reality for countless children.
