Adopt-a-School is a program of The Earth Assistance Foundation, a non-aligned, non sectarian fellowship with cell groups throughout the world.

The Earth Assistance Foundation is an international fellowship of individuals and groups who work together so 'That we may do Good'.
 
Established in Australia as a private foundation in 1978, the foundation worked to support environment protection, social support, water harvesting  and agricultural projects in South East Asia and incorporated the Association for Research and Environment Aid as its public body.
 
In 2002 the foundation began to explore and implement means to assist with African development and The Earth Assistance Foundation was incorporated in Tanzania as a Company Limited by Guarantee (not for profit) in February 2007.
 
The Foundation has three divisions through which it manages its African projects.
 
Adopt a School assists with all aspects of the development and operation of community schools which are joint ventures between a village community and the National Government. It provides school infrastructure, equipment, teaching materials, teacher education and capacity building. It is also involved with advocacy towards school development. For example the introduction of Information Technology into the school curriculum. Adopt a School provides scholarships for secondary school students and for teachers seeking to advance themselves in their profession.
 
Water for Peace seeks to ameliorate conflict over water by the provision of water for domestic and agricultural use. It has developed low cost means for the collection and storage of rainwater for village houses and works with Adopt a School to provide water for Schools. Water for Peace is a repository of expertise in dryland agriculture. In particular the Australian innovations of Permaculture and Keyline Development.
 
Bega kwa Bega (Kiswahili: shoulder to shoulder) undertakes works that are not within the scope of the previous two divisions. These works include microfinance and all forms of  humanitarian assistance.
 
The Foundation is able to do all 'good work' and is supported by individuals and core-groups on all continents. In Australia The Earth Assistance Association coordinates the work of members in that country and links with members in other countries. Members may choose their own projects and seek the support of the foundation with their implementation.
 
The work of The Earth Assistance Foundation and its supporters is highly personalized. Members and supporters are an integral part of all projects and contribute to policy and management.
 
In all works the Foundation pursues world’s best practice. All accounts and documents are open to public scrutiny.
