In today’s globalized world, education should not be confined by borders—geographical, social, or economic. The American ideal of education without borders champions access to learning for all, especially for students who struggle to complete their secondary education. When young people fail to finish high school, the consequences reach far beyond the individual. Without a diploma, students face limited career opportunities, lower lifetime earnings, and higher risks of poverty. This not only affects their personal future but also places a burden on their families and weakens the social and economic fabric of their communities and countries. Ensuring that every student completes their education is not just a moral responsibility—it is an investment in a more stable, equitable, and prosperous future for all. Our mission is to bring American education to the rest of the world.

ODECA is an NGO that has a mission to bring American education to Africa. This is achieved in both lower and high education, and in vocational training. We recruit volunteers who can identify students who failed their secondary education and evaluate their levels in English, Math and Science, and judge if they can succeed if we admitted them in our offered programs. The student recruitment process is performed by volunteers who use social media to communicate our programs.
