Mosaik Education

Charity Number: 1176947

Mosaik Education is a UK-based nonprofit organisation established in 2018 dedicated to increasing access to higher education for refugees. The organisation's core mission is to close the significant gap in university access faced by young refugees worldwide, addressing barriers such as language, funding, technology, and complex administrative systems that impede their educational opportunities.

Mission and Vision

Mosaik Education aims to create new opportunities for refugees to lead fulfilling lives beyond survival by realising their full potential through university education. The organisation views access to higher education not only as a fundamental right but also as a world-changing opportunity that can empower refugees to become engineers, entrepreneurs, educators, and leaders of the future.

Programmes and Activities

Mosaik delivers innovative education programmes primarily in partnership with local organisations in countries including Jordan, Lebanon, Uganda, and Egypt. These programmes offer workshops and blended learning models that provide refugees with guidance, training, and resources to explore their passions and pursue routes to higher education.

Key aspects of their work include:

• Breaking Down Barriers: Tackling challenges related to language proficiency, financial constraints, technological access, and complex university application processes to facilitate refugee entry into tertiary education.
• Building University Partnerships: Collaborating with universities to align their international ambitions with social impact initiatives, creating sustainable and meaningful educational opportunities for refugees.
• Shifting the Narrative: Promoting awareness of the transformative potential of refugee university access in driving social development, diversifying talent pools, and developing future leaders.

Impact

Though only approximately 7% of refugees globally currently access university education, Mosaik Education’s efforts are directed toward closing this gap by providing tailored support and building impactful collaborations between refugees and higher education institutions.

Partnerships

Mosaik Education works closely with international and local partners, including universities and NGOs, to support refugee students. These partnerships enable the organisation to deliver programmes that are both contextually relevant and scalable, enhancing opportunities for refugee learners to successfully enter and complete higher education.

Mosaik Education exemplifies how targeted educational support and global partnerships can unlock the potential of refugee youth, transforming lives and contributing to global development goals.
