ABOUT

Cycling Scholars Africa Foundation

Cycling Scholars Foundation is Africa’s largest partnership-based foundation exclusively focused on transforming education in lower-income countries and fostering sustainable impact in Africa’s educational sector.

CSF assembles all partners who are deeply invested in education in varied capacities; lower-income countries in Africa, government outfits, international organizations, sports brands, donors, underserved schools, volunteers, students’ & teachers’ associations, the private sector, private foundations & NGOs – to implement tailored solutions addressing the unique needs and shortcomings of individual schools. 

CSF operates a unique fundraising model through cycling. Our all-female, country-based Cycling Clubs afford us the opportunity to acquire funds through customized club activities in different regions on the continent.
