25 Years of Transformative Education

In 2025 USAP turned 25! What started in 1999 as a bold initiative to expand access to higher education for talented students in Zimbabwe has grown into a powerful and global community of changemakers. Throughout 2025, we celebrated this milestone with events around the world—bringing together alumni, supporters, and friends to reconnect, reflect, and reimagine what comes next. From career sessions to community gatherings and networking events, we shone a light on 25 years of access, impact, and the belief that education truly matters.

Let's Build a Sustainable USAP Future Together!

25 years since the origin of the United Student Achievers Program (USAP) at the end of 1999, we are facing a bright future of impact.  The USAP Community School is providing a transformative education to change the trajectories of students seeking higher education opportunities globally with the shared vision to uplift their families, communities, Zimbabwe and more widely Africa.

Since 2020, we have annually as a USAP family walked, run, cycled, hiked and gathered to celebrate USAP success while also fundraising for its future. In September 2025 the USAP Run was a celebration of 25 years of impact. Join us in September 2026 to walk, run, cycle, hike or simply support those doing so to reach our goal. Look for an event in your region to join or create one!

It takes $5000 a year to educate a student at USAP Community School.  With your support, we will reach our campaign goal of raising funds for 25 students, or $125,000.

Throughout 2025 we also showcased powerful USAP stories, and the extraordinary impact USAP has made across the world, and their reflections are archived below.
