If you’re new here, my name is Alicia and I’m a teacher on a mission!

My journey in education began while I was still a student, teaching at a small special needs school in KZN. Over the years, my path has taken me from the classrooms of South Africa to the UAE, spanning every level from Grade 00 to Grade 7.

I’ve worn many hats:

The Leader: Serving as a Departmental Head, managing 15 teachers and over 600 learners.
The Facilitator & Designer: Working on an ad hoc basis with the Cape Teaching and Leadership Institute (CTLI) as a facilitator and Visual Designer.
The Content Specialist: During the pandemic, I helped develop resources for a UNICEF-funded initiative to ensure learning never stopped during the COVID-19 crisis.
The Advocate: Since 2025, I have dedicated my focus to being a Learning Support Teacher, ensuring no child is left behind.

The Spark in Abu Dhabi

Two years ago, God put a specific mission into my heart: to help reverse inequality in education. I’ll never forget the moment I first shared the news. We were driving through Abu Dhabi when I told my dear friend, Aviwe. When Avie started clapping with pure excitement, I knew there was no turning back. That joy confirmed that this was exactly what I was meant to do. I also knew I had someone who was going to join me on this journey.

Why I Do This

I know the reality of the “teacher’s budget” because I’ve lived it. I’ve spent a small fortune in a single year on everything from ring binders to over a thousand laminating pouches-and I’ve felt the frustration of being told those professional sacrifices weren’t “tax-deductible.”

I’m building this because your ability to teach shouldn’t depend on how much you can afford to spend out of pocket. We are here to reverse inequality in education by providing the high-quality, professional resources I wish I’d had throughout my career.

As our mission grows, I look forward to introducing you to the rest of the team joining us on this journey.
