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.
