The Sprouteen Foundation actively promotes and stimulates better education for kids in Africa. We support local educational projects in African developing countries in a transparent way. When you make a donation, you get to choose the project you want to donate to. And we’ll also show you that every penny is well spent, from donation to realization.

Sprouteen offers you that choice by featuring different projects on the website. For every project, you’ll see the project’s goal, how much they need and what happens to your donation. That way, you’ll get to see that your contribution actually contributes to creating a better world.

Sprouteen is a charity foundation started by Dutch teenagers, to help out African teenagers and kids. Sprouteen was started by Esmée Cruiming and Roban Reuvers and the foundation is run by three experienced board members. And we also work with a lot of volunteers. You can check out more about our team on the Who is Sprouteen page.

Currently, Sprouteen features and supports projects in Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania. Our goal is to get every child on the African continent to be able to go to school. Because, in the end, all development starts with education.

Sprout comes from sprouties, being the healthy germs in seeds that represent growth and development. And ‘teen’ is of course pretty evident, seeing as we’re teenagers.

We write blogs on a regular basis on how the different projects develop. And, after you’ve made a donation, you can also sign up for our email newsletter, with all the updates on the projects. If you’ve helped Sprouteen in any other way and would like to receive regular updates, just drop us a line at info@sprouteen.org

Aside from making a donation, you can help us out big time by spreading the word and letting people know about Sprouteen. We’ve included a few examples on how to do this on our Stand up for Sprouteen page.

Yes, every contribution helps. We don’t transfer the full amount all at once, but in several terms. That way, the project can keep on running and extra funding is still possible.

No, but these projects usually have a bigger impact range, so more kids are able to go to school. And as you can imagine, more kids means more money is needed.
