Realising the Potential in People

About

The UK charity PEAS (Promoting Equality in African Schools) will be running this photography exhibition in collaboration with photographer Paloma Pargac. PEAS works to widen access to secondary education in Uganda, East Africa, where enrolment is currently under 20%. So far, PEAS has funded the launch of three new low-fee secondary schools, which has provided educational opportunities for up to 3000 students. The charity hopes to open two more schools in 2009. The schools founded by PEAS make secondary education more affordable to disadvantaged young people and their families. The exhibition will feature photographs and stories from a selection of students that attend PEAS schools in Uganda, showing them at home and at school. Do please come along and be inspired by these amazing young people. Further information can be obtained by calling PEAS directly on 0207 9819737, or by emailing info@peas.org.uk.
