Our Mission: Empowerment through Education

At LifeSpanEd, we are driven by a powerful mission: to provide accessible, engaging, and transformative learning experiences that bridge the gap between culture and education. We believe that every individual, regardless of their background, deserves the opportunity to access education that resonates with their identity, fosters personal growth, and enables them to create a positive impact on their communities.

 

Background

Welcome to LifeSpanEd, your gateway to empowering education tailored specifically to vibrant and diverse communities. We are more than just an online learning platform; we are a beacon of opportunity, crafted by two dedicated colleagues with over three decades of experience in Higher Education.

Crafting Futures through Experience

LifeSpanEd was born from a shared vision held by our founders, Dr. Rohan Jowallah and Kerlene King, whose unwavering commitment to quality education and community empowerment laid the foundation for this unique endeavor. Drawing upon their extensive experience in academia, they recognized a gap in the educational landscape – a lack of inclusive, culturally relevant online courses that celebrate the heritage and aspirations of the diaspora.

 

What Sets Us Apart: Culturally Enriched Learning

Our courses are meticulously curated to address the unique perspectives, histories, and challenges faced in many communities. We pride ourselves in offering a rich tapestry of subjects, all deeply rooted in the culture, heritage, and aspirations of these communities. From history and literature to entrepreneurship and social justice, our course offerings reflect the richness and diversity of our audience.

Cultural Relevance: Our courses celebrate your heritage, ensuring that your learning experience is relatable, meaningful, and inspiring.

Expertise: With over 30 years in Higher Education, our founders have a deep understanding of what it takes to create impactful learning experiences.

Accessible Learning: We break down barriers to education by offering convenient, self-paced online courses that fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.

Community Engagement: Join a supportive community of learners who share your cultural background and aspirations, fostering connections that extend beyond the virtual classroom.

Empowerment: By nurturing personal growth and knowledge, we equip you with the tools you need to make a lasting difference in your life and the lives of those around you.
