This summer, Education Partnerships Africa invested over £55,000 in 16 schools in Kenya. With 44 Project Workers and 10 Summer Team members working alongside our inspiring school leaders, it was a busy and productive summer. We look forward to bringing you school spotlights and investment stories over the coming weeks as we finalise the collation of feedback and reflection on the changes instigated and strides made.
Every year, the Head Teachers from each of our partner schools gather to share their views on how the project went, our strategic alignment with our local stakeholders and what can be done to increase our impact even further. A large emphasis was placed on technological development and e-learning in schools; the Principals highlighted the challenges their students face when entering University or the workplace without an adequate level of digital literacy.
Finally, they gave a round up of everything that had been achieved in their schools; from large-scale water filtering systems to avocado-farm enterprises to ICT labs, it was clear that the partnership has proved fruitful as ever.
Thank you very much for your support. EPAfrica is only able to grow the education opportunities of young people in East Africa and offer formational volunteering experiences to UK students through your generous support. It is both an exciting and challenging time for us as we grow and develop our scale and impact – and your support as we do this is hugely appreciated.
