Impact Stories
For many of our partner schools, the idea of integrating technology into their operations felt like a distant dream—until now. Grace, one of the school directors, captured the sentiment perfectly when she said with a radiant smile and a tone filled with gratitude, “This is a blessing that has come at the right time. You’ve brought something that was so far out of reach close to us.”
Despite the tough challenges this year, from a cholera outbreak to a severe drought, the library has become a second home for many children. It’s a place where they can learn, play, and be kids again. For Francis, it was curiosity that first drew him to the library, but it’s the warm and welcoming atmosphere that keeps him coming back.
Technology shapes nearly every part of our daily lives, from how we communicate to how we learn and share information. It’s not just a luxury, it’s a necessity! In some of our schools, students have never touched a computer, let alone learned how to use one. Their understanding of technology comes only from chalkboard drawings and explanations, lacking the hands-on experience that would make it real to them.
Two years ago, our Education Team Leader, Chibwe, started mentoring Kondwani, a teacher from Good Shepherd. The purpose of the mentorship was to equip Kondwani to effectively engage his students in the classroom and gain confidence in the process. Their interactions involved Chibwe observing his lessons and providing constructive feedback. What began as a regular weekly mentoring session evolved into a genuine friendship with mutual respect.
Through our one-on-one coaching, Alice’s teaching has transformed and the impact is clear in her students’ results. By confidently implementing an effective reading program, she has seen her students’ reading rates soar.
Alice says, “For me, as a teacher, I have been impacted a lot. And that impact I got, I also impacted the kids as well.”
