Education plays a pivotal role in the struggle against poverty This year we celebrate our volunteer teachers and mentors who worked tirelessly in the partner schools to improve the academic standards of students. We have witnessed improved performance by students who sat for the 2023 Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and going by the results posted by the various partner schools and individual students supported by the program, we are happy that our efforts are successful. We are truly changing and improving lives of individuals in Ruaraka community. In 2023, we conducted mentorship program in 6 schools, engaged 12 volunteer teachers to supplement the teachings and extracurricular activities in these schools and directly benefitted 92 students.
Our volunteers will continue to play influencing role in Ruaraka community to ensure that assignments and learning resources are given to the students we are supporting in our program. We will continue to directly provide free teaching assistance and support to underprivileged students through mentorship and organising extra-curricular activities.
We are convinced that when individuals have the chance to learn basic life and literacy skills, economies grow faster, and poverty rates decline. That is why Progressive Volunteers is working in all these projects to support needy students and help schools in economically and socially disadvantaged areas in Ruaraka.
