Build a school
When E3 Africa’s school campus (known as St. Thomas Aquinas College, or STACE) is completed, we hope to serve over 800 students, most of whom are orphaned or from disadvantaged families.
Provide Clean Water
As the school campus population grows, we will need additional infrastructure and wells to provide clean water, sanitation, and hygiene to our students and staff.
Solar Power
Without electricity, the children cannot work on their homework during the evening hours. Please help us improve their study environment by providing solar power to our campus facilities.
Build a School
Once completed, St. Thomas Aquinas College – Erepi (STACE) will have the capacity to educate over 800 students a year, most of whom are orphaned or from disadvantaged families, and employ approximately over 50 teachers, administrators, and site staff.
STACE opened in February 2020 with two dorms, three classroom blocks, a chapel, and a multipurpose center. Since then, dormitory expansions, a science and lab building, SOURCE ® hydrosolar panels for purified water and additional farmland to grow crops for the campus meals and to utilize for crop husbandry training have been added.
The school will supplement a traditional curriculum with vocational training, peace & conflict resolution, and moral and spiritual transformation. Because of intermittent power outages, additional solar, generator, and storage capacity are needed to help light the school campus in our remote location.
