In Kenya there are 7 and half million students. A difficult challenge, aboveall on the outskirts of the urban area where the government funds are not enough, the salary of the teachers is very low and the infrastructure are inadequate with serious consequences also from the point of view of hygiene and health.
For this reason, school represents an oasis compared to the degradation in which children quite often grow up and teachers are very often the only point of reference for the young generation. That is why the priority is to invest on teachers who lost more and more their motivation.

Objective:
To insure adequate training to teachers from the elementary school to the secondary, reinforcing the sense of responsibility and giving them the right motivation. The Project, which will last 3 years, will involve 50,000 teachers coming from Nairobi and from the other remote parts of the country and 2,500,000 children.
