About
PTA Network Africa (PTA Africa)
PTA Network Africa (PTA Africa) is an Africa-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) that supports Parents-Teachers Associations (PTAs) across the continent. We promote advocacy for school infrastructure development, parenting support, youth and children empowerment, and community-led solutions that improve learning environments and livelihoods.
Our Objectives
- Reduce poverty through employment, agriculture, research & development, finance, and skills training.
- Support counseling, human rights, and cottage industry setup to grow local economies.
- Strengthen PTAs so they can mobilise resources, manage small grants, and drive school improvements.
Funds & Initiatives
PTA Africa manages a set of targeted funds to support parents, teachers, students and communities:
- PTA Empowerment Fund — Grants to parents and teachers in financial hardship.

PTA Cooperative Credit Union (PTA CCU)
