Established in 2014, the Skills Outside School Foundation (SOSF) is the leading Pan-African organization dedicated to disrupting development and redefining philanthropy through education, entrepreneurship, and employability. Our mission is to deploy data-driven interventions and advocacy to achieve transformational sustainable socio-economic development across Africa, guided by our core values of service, integrity, and collaboration. We leverage our powerful Data pillar, anchored by the SOSF Social & Economic Register—a game-changing, AI-powered digital platform that captures real-time, multilingual data for everything from program design to advocacy and funding decisions. Our Advocacy pillar turns this evidence into influence, amplifying voices and driving systemic change through strategic communications, policy reform, and institutionalizing impactful interventions. This integrated approach, supported by our diverse Partnerships, ensures our programs (like Headstart Agropreneurs, Bridge, and Online Skill Up for Business & Career) and Funds & rants are precisely targeted, rigorously evaluated, and designed for maximum impact and sustainable change across the continent
