Happy Classrooms

Over the past 5 years, we have visited many schools in Kenya. A common sight we see, particularly in rural schools, is bare concrete walls and a lack of classroom resources. The local environment has a huge influence on the ways by which a teacher can teach and a child can learn - an empty room deprives students of the potential to learn in many new and exciting ways.

We have worked with local schools, teachers and our international network to design resources, paint classrooms, and provide ongoing support for teachers. 

We initially ran a pilot project within 5 classrooms across 4 schools and witnessed first-hand the incredible impact a "Happy Classroom" can have.

Since then the project has expanded to 37 classrooms across 16 schools, with expanded support resources including model lesson plans and multiple follow-up visits.
