We are an international education not-for-profit with the mission to ‘expand access to sustainably delivered, quality secondary education across Africa’. We build and run high quality not-for-profit secondary schools in close partnership with government in communities where there is urgent unmet demand for secondary education. In 2008, we built and opened our first school in Uganda and now we run a school network of 28 schools in Uganda and 4 in Zambia. We are proud of what we have achieved: Building and running two school networks of 32 schools serving over 15,000 students; Helping students who start further behind than their peers to catch up by the time they leave our schools; Running schools where all students feel safe and cared for; Keeping our fees low and working hand-in-hand with communities, so that children from some of the poorest backgrounds attend our schools; Opening the first ever zero day-fee secondary school in Zambia by securing a ground-breaking partnership with the government. And, don’t just take our word for it. After rigorous external studies in recent years, we know our school model works. In Uganda, PEAS students are from the poorest households and have worse primary school exam results than average. Once they enrol in a PEAS school they go on to make faster academic progress than their more privileged peers. Importantly, this is achieved at a lower cost per student than in other school types. Watch a summary video on our external evaluations The next chapter We are proud of our success so far, but we believe that no matter how well we are doing, we can always do better. Our students and schools come first and we are committed to delivering the best possible results for our students, every day. After 10 years of growth in Uganda, now is the time to take stock and make PEAS fit for the future. As a team, we have agreed what is working best in our schools, and also where we want to achieve even more. That has meant an ambitious new plan for school support, and hiring some great new roles to deliver it. We want PEAS schools to be the best in Uganda, and we are looking for passionate and ambitious individuals to join us on that mission. PEAS has achieved great things in the last 10 years, and we know we can achieve even more in the next 10 years. So as a team, we look to the next ten years with excitement and energy to make this a reality. Why do we do it? A high quality secondary education increases people’s lifetime earning potential and helps them and their children to live healthier lives, yet 264 million young people are currently out of school and the vast majority of these young people are of secondary school age. PEAS wants every young person in Sub-Saharan Africa to have the opportunity to receive a high quality secondary education that can transform their lives. Working at PEAS Everyone at PEAS is united by the desire to give more students the best possible education and the best life chances. Whether we are spending school fees, external grants, or our own time, we know that every shilling, kwacha, pound or minute that we spend has to go on what matters most to achieving our mission. It is not always easy and sometimes it means sacrificing the personal benefits that other organisations pride themselves on, but it guides us to deliver the most we possibly can for our students in everything we do.

  • Amuria District Local Government
    THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FIVE YEAR LOCAL ACTION PLAN (LAP) ON ENDING ALL FORMS OF CONFLICTS AND VIOLENCE 2021-2025 JANUARY, 2021 SUPPORTED BY: THE REPUBLIC OF UGANDA AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FIVE YEAR LOCAL ACTION PLAN (LAP) ON ENDING ALL FORMS OF CONFLICTS AND VIOLENCE 2021-2025 JANUARY, 2021 SUPPORTED BY MAP OF AMURIA DISTRICT LOCAL GOVERNMENT FOREWORD The Government of Uganda is committed to the implementation of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda as enshrined in United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325. The framework provides an opportunity for strengthening women’s participation and involvement in the promotion of peace and security within the context of conflict and conflict transformation. The Uganda National Action Plan (NAP) III for implementation of the WPS agenda lays emphasis on elimination of all forms of conflicts and violence including Gender-Based Violence (GBV) from society. Amuria District Local Action Plan (LAP) therefore domesticates the Uganda NAP on UNSCR 1325 tailoring it to the conflict issues in the district. This LAP was developed in a participatory manner involving both the district and the sub county leaders, political, technical, religious, and cultural leaders, civil society, teachers, and the media. The stakeholder involvement has already strengthened ownership of the LAP and will be instrumental in its implementation. I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate UN Women and Norwegian Embassy, Ministry of Gender Labour and Social Development (MGLSD) and Coalition for Action on 1325 (CoACT) and Teso Women Peace Activists (TEWPA) for the both financial and technical support rendered to our district that enabled Amuria district to develop a Local Action Plan-II.
