Africa

In 2013, Mary was appointed a Global Ambassador for Education Africa – a non-profit organization bringing educational opportunity and arts education to South Africa’s poorest communities.  Influenced by the late President Nelson Mandela and the late Walter Sisulu, Education Africa was founded by CEO James Urdang now with global supportive structures from the United States, United Kingdom, Austria, Germany.  Based in South Africa, Education Africa has over 30 years of making real change happen by providing poverty alleviation through Education.

Established in 1992, Education Africa strives to reach and uplift the poorest of the poor.  We aim to assist disadvantaged South African children and youth in their quest to obtain a quality, relevant education in order to ensure that they are in a position to become global citizens and a competitive, productive element in the local job market.  Learn more about the impactful work of Education Africa.  https://educationafrica.org.

 

“One of my personal joys is seeing how music impacts our beautiful children. Music is a lifeline to opportunity for South Africa's poorest areas, and every day music is bringing hope, inspiration, and valuable skills to children across South Africa.”
