Every year, EduSpots recognises the work of exceptional Catalysts, Spot teams and wider supporters, giving their work and impact a platform to inspire the wider network!
With over 50 Spot communities in the network and over 400 local Catalysts, these awards were highly competitive, and the winners act as representatives or symbols of the wider change ongoing across Ghana and Kenya.
