Transform Schools

Supporting schools in South Africa

Education For All (EfA) is a not-for-profit social enterprise that provides funds and resources to advance education through specific development projects in Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. Balfour Beatty is recognised as the founding contractor for their work and in the past few months Transform Schools Bassetlaw has helped to make a huge impact on a number of schools in South Africa.

Furniture from seven schools in Bassetlaw was considered to be fit for use by schools in Africa. Gary Fisher, Deputy General Manager for Transform Schools Bassetlaw, recently paid a visit to the Eastern Cape and was amazed to see what a difference their contribution was making;

“We visited a number of schools out there and we were astounded by the gratitude of the pupils and staff who were benefiting from our old furniture. Pupils were taking exams on the old school desks and seemed surprisingly happy considering they were sitting an exam! The trip has made a lasting impact on me personally and I plan to do more to help, as a small contribution really does go a long way in such deprived areas.”
