Today I’m chatting with Annabelle Chauncy, who co-founded the Aussie non-profit School for Life at just 21 years old, with the bold ambition to educate poverty out of existence. School for Life started in 2011 in Uganda with 81 students, and purchased their first 10 acres of land with $16k. 15 years on, School for Life is raising over $6m a year and is impacting the lives of more than 4,500 vulnerable children across East Africa, and has a vision to reach 10,000 children in the next 5 years.
Despite initial doubts due to her young age, her belief that no matter where they are born, every child deserves access to a safe childhood and quality education, pushed her to overcome numerous challenges. We’ll delve into the key learnings, incredible milestones, and the hurdles she faced along the way, revealing how her unwavering passion and determination was so strong that she refused to take no for an answer, turning her vision into a reality.
