Experience East Africa

Gone Fishing is an African immersion for business leaders and professionals. It aims to connect the people of Africa with decision-makers in corporate Australia who influence the decision-making structures that will determine the world of tomorrow.

Gone Fishing provides a unique opportunity to participate in a meaningful and challenging international professional development program. The program seeks to harness and further develop the leadership, management and interpersonal skills of each attendee whilst at the same time presenting the human face of Africa with all its vibrancy and complexity.

Our hope is to inspire, challenge and engage each participant to be an agent for change in their own community and to motivate others to support the delivery of empowering quality education and life-long learning opportunities for all.

The hope of the program is one of connection.

1 in 3 children in Western Kenya cannot read a single word.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive. 

In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life. 

But, with your help, this can change. 

 

With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond. 

Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
