Education

Elpo School - low cost education for local primary aged children.

In the past, we have carried out some teacher development work with Elpo School (formerly known as Hope Community School) which was initially opened as a 14-pupil school in January 2015 to offer low-cost education for primary-aged children. Originally meeting in a small building at the ICA centre, its accommodation was simple; a bare concrete floor, tin roof and no furniture. In the playground, a solitary metal slide, and a broken swing set.

 

So, why do we support Education? Because it holds a vital key to Kibera’s development. It might not change the whole slum, but if some simple support can brighten the future of a few children, we believe it’s worth it.

​

Currently, we are focusing on the training of teachers in:

 

Safeguarding:

 

  • Introduction

  • Developing a policy

  • Implementation

  • Working with the community

​

Classroom management:

 

  • Expectations

  • Planning

  • Environment

  • Rewards and sanctions
