Learn from front-line stories

Africa ELI team members are happy to receive speaking invitations from your civic club, school, church, or special group.

Discover points of connection and commonality with the young people in South Sudan. Join in driving meaningful change in the world’s newest country. Hear stories from the field. Get your questions answered. Glimpse daily life at school.  See the smiling faces of Africa ELI students. Amplify your voice to positively impact the lives of South Sudan’s daughters and sons.

Most presentations include a brief history about South Sudan, recent developments, our student programs, and how you can help Africa ELI continue bridging gender gaps through education.
