Africa will be home to 37% of the world's children by 2050.
We are building the largest network of model schools in Tanzania and East Africa — and forming the workforce to sustain it.
Powered by the teacher. Multiplied by technology.

Building the schools. Forming the teacher. Scaling both to create a generation of bold, innovative, imaginative African leaders.
THE ENGINE
Silverleaf Teacher College
Building the national workforce required to deliver outcomes-evidenced education everywhere else.



THE PROOF
Silverleaf Schools Network
Proving what outcomes-evidenced, affordable basic education looks like — in best practice, at scale.

THE OPPORTUNITY
Three constraints preventing quality learning from reaching every child.
270,000+
teachers short today
>95% of that deficit still unfilled
01 LEARNING GAP
90%
of children in Sub-Saharan Africa cannot read a simple text by age 10.
Schooling is not translating into meaningful learning.
02 DELIVERY GAP
Only 27%
of children reach secondary school in Tanzania.
Enrolment without quality outcome evidenced learning is not a solution.
03 CAPABILITY GAP
270,000+
teacher shortage. Only ~4% of the pipeline filled.
Without a formed teacher, the ecosystem cannot function.
Silverleaf was founded in 2016 to bridge this opportunity.
5x
One teacher formed.
Five classrooms changed.
THE MULTIPLIER
140+ educators trained · 80%+ placed in education across Tanzania
1

By 2030, that compounds to:

TANZANIA AS PROOF
From one campus in Arusha
to a national blueprint.
An ecosystem that travels the continent
