Welcome to the website dedicated to our Spotlight children

All children are #Borntolearn. But so many never do. This website is dedicated to showcasing the education journeys of four school children in Africa, Godfred, Priscilla, Rougui and Pape. As part of the GEM Report Spotlight Series, this platform offers an exclusive glimpse into the lives of these young learners as they navigate their educational paths in diverse contexts.

The Spotlight Report, Born to Learn, written in partnership with the African Union and the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), sheds light on the challenges and opportunities faced by these children, highlighting the vital role education plays in their lives and communities.

Thank you to the Forum for African Women Educationalists for introducing us to the children and helping us follow their journeys. By sharing their stories on this site, we aim to inspire collective action and advocate for education for all. 



Embark on a virtual journey as you explore the unique experiences, aspirations, and accomplishments of these remarkable children.
