EduSpots is once again thrilled to take part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025, the UK’s biggest online match-funding campaign! This year is extra special as we celebrate our 10th Anniversary, we’re expanding access to learning spaces. From Tuesday 2nd December (midday) to Tuesday 9th December (midday), every pound you donate via our Big Give page will be DOUBLED, helping us reach our goal of £12,000!
We’ll share the donation link when the appeal launches on 2 December.
Why Your Support Matters
In Ghana, 80% of children do not acquire basic literacy and numeracy skills by the end of primary school, and 35% of learners in rural areas do not complete primary school (UNESCO, 2020-2022). Students, teachers and communities have incredible potential and with the right support and resources, they can drive lasting change themselves.
EduSpots trains and equips over 400 local educators (‘Catalysts’) to lead 50 community learning hubs (‘Spots’) across rural Ghana and Kenya. The Spots reach over 10,000 learners every year, providing fun, inclusive and future-ready education through clubs like DigiLit, EcoSTEM, Ignite Equity and more.
“My parents didn’t really go far with education. When my dad heard I was involved in EduSpots, he was like ‘WOW!’ Through EduSpots, I’ve improved my reading, creativity and use of technology. Now, I think critically to solve problems and make vital decisions.”
— Abdul Manaf, Learner
It costs just £15 for one learner to access a Spot for a whole year!

Jeffery’s Story: The Power of Community-Led Learning
“EduSpots has been my second home, a place where I’ve grown, learned and discovered my strengths,” says Jeffery, a learner at Akumadan Spot. Since joining EduSpots in 2019, Jeffery has grown from a curious learner into an EcoSTEM Lead, mentoring others and pursuing his dream of becoming a scientist and educator. His story shows the life-changing power of community-led education and with your support, we can help thousands more learners like Jeffery fulfil their potential.
