Amala Education

Who we are

Amala’s mission is to use the power of education to transform the lives of young refugees, their communities and the world.

We are a non profit organisation with big ambitions to create a deep and lasting impact for young people who are displaced. We have developed the first international high school diploma for out of school refugee and crisis-affected youth, and we also offer non-formal education courses on topics such as Peace-building, Ethical Leadership and Social Entrepreneurship.

What makes Amala’s approach to education unique is our human-centred approach, context-inclusive curriculum and learning programmes that are relevant to the lives that our students lead today and will lead in the future. Through running our own programmes as well as in collaboration with partners, we have reached more than 7000 young refugees in countries such as Jordan, Greece, Kenya, Malaysia and Uganda. 

Our globally distributed team comprises 36 members, based in countries including the United Kingdom, Singapore, Greece, Jordan and Kenya. Together, we are on an ambitious growth trajectory as we move towards our strategic goal to reach millions of refugees by 2040.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

At Amala, we are committed to providing diverse, equitable and inclusive work and learning environments. Due to this, we have a broad perspective for innovation, problem-solving and developing creative solutions. DE&I creates and fosters an open learning environment for the betterment of our team, which ultimately produces a quality education and learning environment for our students. 

We are proud of working hard to ensure that our team members and students feel valued and have their voices heard. We want to empower all who work at Amala to take pride in their work and the organisation. DE&I contributes to having a happy, healthy and diverse team, able to do their best work to ensure equitable access to quality education for displaced youth, and creating a transformative learning environment for our students.
