Education and child protection
Transforming learning across North Eastern Kenya.
The challenge
North Eastern counties have low access to schooling. Nomadic livelihoods, drought, poverty, clan conflict, insecurity and poor teacher-pupil ratios keep many children out of class. Cultural barriers also block girl-child education.
Our response
- Teacher training in pedagogy, competency-based approaches and play-based, child-centred learning
- Coaching and mentorship, and school cluster support sessions
- Teaching and learning materials for schools
- Support to two teacher training colleges
- Peace Education Network and enrolment drives
- A focus on girls and learners with special needs
