Amala Education

Our mission is to use the power of education to transform the lives of refugees, their communities and the world.

Amala runs the first secondary level programme and qualification in the world designed with and for refugee youth. We also offer Changemaker Courses in areas such as Peace-building, Ethical Leadership, and Social Entrepreneurship.

Amala (formerly known as Sky School) was conceived in 2017, in response to the gap in quality education provision for displaced youth. Our name is inspired by the Arabic word for hope, which our education embodies.

We believe that young refugees - as all people - have a right to quality education. Yet, only 41% of refugees are enrolled in secondary education and only 7% are able to access higher education.
