“The education of young refugees is crucial to the peaceful and sustainable development of the places that have welcomed them, and to the future prosperity of their own countries.” - UNHCR
Amala’s Strategic Plan 2021-2024 - A Launchpad to Scale
Amala was established in 2017 with a bold aim to provide alternative upper secondary education to young refugees and crisis affected youth aged 16-25 who often face insurmountable obstacles to accessing education. By providing high quality education, Amala wants to enable refugee and conflict-affected youth to improve their own lives, participate in society and drive wider societal change.
Having successfully piloted Amala courses and the Amala Global Secondary Diploma over the last three years, our ambition with this strategic plan is to develop organisational readiness and remove barriers to scale to create a launchpad for exponential growth and impact from 2024 and beyond.
In the next three years, we will increase our reach tenfold to reach 5,000 students and create a launchpad for exponential growth beyond this strategic period.
Strategic Aims 2021-2024:
1. Make Amala’s education programmes replicable
Streamline and ensure our education programmes are both simple and cheap enough to be replicated by partners without compromising quality.
2. Become a widely-recognised education provider
Work with accrediting bodies, governments and partners to obtain formal recognition and raise our profile in order to offer the programme to even more young people and enable Amala students to access a wide range of pathways after graduating.
3. Build organisational capacity to accelerate growth
Focus on building fundraising capacity and financial sustainability, creating a diverse and resilient network of partners and developing organisational capacity for scale.
