Team Kenya has developed partnerships with over 19 schools, colleges and universities in the UK. Many of our partnerships have taken place as part of the British Council connecting classrooms program, providing lots of opportunities to staff and students.
In Homa Bay County, 63% of people live in extreme poverty, and in Ndhiwa only 15% of children progress to secondary school, very few of whom are girls. We are passionate about ensuring that girls receive quality education, allowing them to improve their quality of life, and help transform their communities.
In the UK, we believe it is essential students are educated on global citizenship in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. In our experience, schools appreciate help in identifying and developing opportunities to embed this within their curriculum and provide a more diverse education for their students.
Teach Exciting Topics
We can help provide you with learning resources from the British Council on important topics such as gender equality, climate change, and international development. These can include real-life case studies from Twende Pamoja to help inform your course work.
Partner With A School In Ndhiwa
We can partner you with a school in Ndhiwa so you can directly contact them via zoom calls, videos, emails, or letters. You can use your partnership to work together on curriculum activities or joint projects. Connecting students in the UK and Kenya allows them to learn about each other’s lives and develop their communication skills.
Fundraise
You can raise awareness for Team Kenya and organise fundraising activities to support the schools and community in Ndhiwa, while simultaneously creating an opportunity to develop your students’ creativity, management, and leadership skills.
School Trip To Kenya
Teachers can arrange the fantastic opportunity to visit their partner school in Kenya. This is regularly found to be a highly rewarding experience for staff and students. We have facilitated many successful trips using our accommodation at Karibuni Eco-Cottages.
“Taking a group of sixth formers to Ndhiwa is by far the best thing I have done professionally. I saw a massive change in their outlook on life and levels of responsibility. Seeing our partner school was humbling and life changing for all of us.”
