What we do
Transforming early childhood education through play.
Founded in 2004, Sabre Education provides children in Ghana with the best possible early childhood education.
Transforming
We transform learning environments to facilitate positive play-based learning.
Nearly 80% of children in Ghana do not acquire basic skills in literacy and numeracy by the end of primary school (UNESCO; 2022).
Sabre is changing this.
Our 2030 goal is to support Ghana to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 4.2: universal access to quality early childhood education- and is an exemplar to other countries.
