Join us in expanding vital counselling services at Village Impact's schools in Nakuru County, Kenya, including incorporating the "Safe Conversations" method. This innovative approach fosters empathy, connection, and understanding through structured dialogue, helping children from conflict and poverty-affected communities. By empowering our counsellors with the necessary resources, we aim to address psychological challenges and promote healing and academic success.
The effects of the 2007/2008 post-election violence in Kenya still impact students today because the displacement and trauma experienced then have created long-standing challenges. Many students come from families uprooted to areas with poor infrastructure, forcing them to prioritize work over education to survive. This historical context has led to a need for robust counselling in schools to help students deal with complex legacies and support their educational and emotional health.
By scaling up our counselling programs, including pioneering the first Safe Conversations program in Kenya, you will equip students with essential skills such as effective communication, empathy, self-awareness, and conflict resolution. The goal is to create a supportive and inclusive school environment where students, their teachers and administrators feel empowered to express themselves, navigate interpersonal relationships, and cope with challenges affecting their futures.
Enhancing counselling in Village Impact's schools will: -Boost mental and emotional health. -Improve academic success. -Strengthen school community bonds. -Foster economic development. -Ensure sustainable, community-driven impact. This initiative supports transformative growth for students and their communities.
