At Yume Africa, we recognize the value of tailored educational assistance in helping students overcome challenges and achieve their full potential. Our tutoring program is designed to ensure that every student receives the guidance they need to succeed, fostering a love for learning and building a strong foundation for their future.
Demographics: A Focus on Young Girls

We believe that educating girls is crucial for the development of our communities and the continent as a whole. This year, our program included 66% female students, ensuring that we are actively contributing to gender equality in education.
Our tutoring program was organized like a BootCamp over 7 weeks to support students with limited resources who face challenges in class. Our primary goal was to help these students improve their grades and prepare for their final exams. We catered to students in 3ème (10 years of education), 1ère (12 years of education), and Terminale (13 years of education). To ensure personalized attention and effective learning, we divided the students into small groups of 15, allowing tutors to provide better guidance and support.
