We are delighted to partner with iamthecode and launch Wellbeing clubs in 14 schools, the first in Tanzania.
These clubs are peer to peer community support groups aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable populations, especially young girls. Our clubs are run in rural government schools by their teachers using materials provided by iamthecode. Groups also come together by zoom to share good practice and engage with mentors from all around the world. They also have access to inspiring podcasts from a wide variety of speakers, and can participate in global events such as for International Day of the Girl.
We are starting with Wellbeing clubs first, and then hope to move on to Digital Clubs.
As the schools we work with have very limited technology, your donation makes a huge difference. We have recently funded projectors in three more schools. They are now using them, linked to teacher's laptops, so that for the first time students and their teachers can watch films, science practicals, and engage in zoom collaborations. As very few students have ever visited a cinema, or have a tv at home, and in service training for teachers is almost non existent, this is a game changer.
So thank you again for your generosity in supporting this project.
