How your donations can help
With 48 countries and a population of over 1 billion, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is one of the largest regions in the world. Although SSA economies are growing, the overwhelming majority of Africans remains poor. The role of higher education in SSA in supporting and producing graduates who can become active within the global knowledge economy is now critical, to reduce unemployment, increase economic activity and widen those participating in the economy. Increases in educational attainment have been shown to be associated with increased income, with upper-secondary graduates earning 100–150 percent more than people with no education.
This is the only way to stop the cycle of humanitarian support.
Donating to Albion Business School
It costs around £2,000 per year to provide a University degree education and every single pound helps.
The impact of donations
Higher education had been neglected for some time by the international development community, stemming from the belief that it yielded lower social returns relative to other investments, especially primary and secondary education, and therefore should receive fewer public resources. Even more importantly, investments in higher education has often been considered regressive, reproducing existing social and economic inequalities. However, Higher education contributes to social and economic development through four major missions:
- The formation of ‘human capital’ (primarily through teaching);
- The building of knowledge bases (primarily through research and knowledge development);
- The dissemination and use of knowledge (primarily through interactions with knowledge users); and
- The maintenance of knowledge (inter-generational storage and transmission of knowledge).
As you will agree these are important developmental goals which requires our support, so please donate and make the difference.
