Overview

Pharo Foundation (“the Foundation”) is a pioneering, mission-driven organisation working to build a vibrant, productive, and self-reliant Africa.

1. Empowering the next generation through affordable, high-quality education.

2. Solving water scarcity by building and operating sustainable water infrastructure.

3. Driving economic productivity by unlocking jobs, investment, and innovation through both non-profit and forprofit ventures.

The Foundation operates in Ethiopia, Somaliland, Kenya, and Rwanda, employing more than 780 people. It combines a not-for-profit engine: Pharo Development, with a for-profit engine, Pharo Ventures, which builds and operates sustainable businesses to create jobs and advance economic self-reliance.

Pharo Foundation’s education mission is implemented through the Pharo-brand schools, ranging from kindergarten, to primary and secondary. The Foundation operates four Pharo schools in Somaliland, Vocational Training Centre, Pharo Kindergarten, Pharo Primary, and Pharo Secondary Boarding school in Sheikh district.

Our school includes both international and national curricula, enhancing the educational experience through a variety of innovative approaches.
