Canon Collins Trust maintains a Tertiary Education Programme for post-graduate students from southern Africa in both the United Kingdom and South Africa.

Recognising that an educated and skilled workforce is a key component in achieving the national goals of reconstruction and development, emphasis is on the education and training of skilled professionals who are committed to the development of their country.

An important area of our work are the grant programmes developed in partnership with communities in southern Africa. The projects supported fall into two categories - those with an explicit formal education programme run by established organisations, and those which are community-based initiatives, using educational processes or support to provide a range of outcomes.

The Trust's priorities are:

  • to work in partnership with educational organisations in southern Africa
  • to expand the Trust's tertiary education programme for southern African students
  • to support formal and non-formal education that address the needs of the most disadvantaged sections of the community
  • to assist Historically Disadvantaged Institutions (HDI's) through staff development, scholarships and projects
  • at all times seek to incorporate educational work on the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The HIV/AIDS crisis in South Africa has prompted an extensive discussion between Canon Collins Trust and partner projects on how best to address the devastating impact the disease is having on education in the region. As a result, a programme has been initiated which places dedicated HIV/AIDS educators in the organisations and communities with whom Canon Collins Trust works. They incorporate the message on acceptance, prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS into the existing programmes
