What We Do

Educo Africa runs outdoor and indoor experiential programmes, with a core developmental focus, for people from all walks of life.

Our three main projects focus on the following sectors:

• Child & Youth Development
• HIV/AIDS
• Leadership Development

We use the wilderness as a teacher and classroom. The journey through the wilderness/Nature mirrors our journey through life. The experiences that we provide is largely based on experiential (action based) education and learning. We encourage participants on our programmes to push their personal boundaries, discover their inner strength and face their challenges, both physical and emotional.

Tolerance, self-belief/worth, communication, generosity, independence, mastery and a sense of belonging are elements that are enhanced through participating on our courses.

We also offer Corporate Team Development programmes. They are tailor-made to suit the needs of the client. The fees of our corporate programmes are folded back into the organisation to help financially support programmes for low income communities.

Every December, Educo Africa offers programmes to youth between the ages of 8 to 18. The courses cater for the specific age groups (e.g. 8-10yrs, 11-12yrs, 13-14yrs, 15-16yrs, and 17-18yrs) and addresses social issues relevant to the youth.

CAPACITY BUILDING:

Educo Africa is able to offer aspects of capacity building to all its clients across various sectors, e.g. HIV/AIDS and Child & Youth Care sectors, NGO’s and CBO’S etc. Capacity building is one of our key areas of focus – we enable organisations to develop into their fullest potential and, subsequently, enable them to become cutting-edge service providers in their various fields.
