Why We Exist (The Problem)
The Opportunity (Our Model)
What would change the trajectory of children in Kenya’s low-income communities?
The only way to address these complex and interconnected challenges is through collective leadership – and we propose building a movement of Teach For Kenya fellows and alumni working alongside local communities, who are committed to developing local solutions to challenges in the following dimensions:
The Solution
SHORT-TERM THEORY OF CHANGE (FELLOWSHIP)
We recruit Kenya’s most promising university graduates and high-performing young professionals to serve as full-time teachers in low-income schools for two years. Teach For Kenya’s staff provide training and support to Fellows to employ innovative teaching strategies to maximize their effectiveness in the classroom.
LONG-TERM THEORY OF CHANGE (ALUMNI NETWORK)
After the two-year intensive leadership development program, these leaders are supported to take up leadership roles across society that will collectively contribute to the change needed across Kenya to transform our schools, schooling systems, and the broader ecosystem of social and economic opportunity
