Our core vision is a world in which communities unite to create the sustainable future that they want to see through education.

This vision comes to life in the stories of local leaders. Japhta Appong, who joined the network in 2024 as part of the new Aboabo No 4 Spot team, describes the change he has seen after just one year:

“Before the Spot, many learners didn’t know how to browse the internet or type a letter. Today, they can. Our learners are now engaged in impactful literacy and digital skills activities that are fun and future-focused. This has created a space for them to demonstrate leadership and problem solving abilities in school and at home, and the community is taking notice.”

Japhta’s experience is echoed in communities across the EduSpots network, where Catalysts and learners are not only gaining new skills but also reshaping local cultures of education and leadership. Our 2025 Theory of Change sets out how these individual stories connect to a wider movement for systems change, providing the blueprint for how Spots grow, sustain themselves, and ripple out transformation across schools, families and communities.
