About the school
The School of Rural Extension, Education and Development (REED) has evolved since 1987 around AUW’s commitment to community-based learning and development.
REED prepares women to work as agents of change through field practice, research, training, and engagement with rural communities and development organisations.
Its educational approach links classroom study with field placements, teamwork, community mobilisation, and practical communication.
