Our goal is to bridge needs and resources by creating sustainable and positive transformations across all the communities we work with. It is very clear that quality education has the power to transform a person’s life by providing them better access to opportunities, opening doors to better employment which has the impact of increasing income and overall improving their living standards. By equipping learners in marginalized communities through their access to quality education, they will grow to become effective agents for change in their families and the wider community.

EF supports Rural Primary schools through two main core programs: Nawiri (swahili for “thrive”)and Imarisha (swahili for “strengthen”)programs. Through Nawiri programs, we work directly with learners engaging them in Alternative Learning through Storytelling, Leardership Development, Literacy and Klub Ujuzi. While Naiwiri focuses on learners ‘ development, we offer support to parents and teacher professional, leadership and economic development through the Imarisha program where we capacity strengthen them to provide holistic support to their children.

Elimu Fanaka believes in a holistic approach to education

Elimu Fanaka believes in using education as a tool for community trans- formation, and schools as centers for finding community solutions to their everyday challenges.

Supporting learners to thrive in and out of class through curriculum and extra-curricular activities to prepare them to navigate through life become leaders who will act as change agents from grassroots to national level.

We engage parents, teachers and the community working with them to find workable solutions to the challenges these schools face. We do this by offering capacity training and linking teachers with other educators in other public & private schools in the country.

Nawiri

Nawiri, is an alternative learning approach that places a strong focus on learners’ mental health and overall well-being. The Nawiri program aims to improve access to high-quality education by employing various creative mediums such like storytelling, literacy and Klub Ujuzi which is a skills club. Additionally, the program offers mentorship in life skills, entrepreneurship, and Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) to learners.

Through this approach, we incorporate literacy sessions and activities such as reading seminars, creative writing exercises, and spelling bees. These sessions are designed to empower learners to recognize their potential and thrive in a holistic manner.

The Nawiri Program strives to create a comprehensive educational experience that not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures learners’ personal growth and well-being.

Imarisha

Imarisha, is a program dedicated to strengthening the professional and leadership growth of teachers and educators. The program’s central focus is on providing support and development opportunities to enhance their leadership skills, enabling them to offer comprehensive and holistic support to learners within and beyond the classroom.

Imarisha facilitates trainings for teachers, impacting them to provide well-rounded guidance and care to learners across academic and non-academic aspects.

Through Imarisha, Elimu Fanaka collaborates school administration, parents, teachers and with like-minded partners, to fosters an environment of peer learning and continuous improvement, encouraging teachers and educators to engage in progressive learning both within and outside the academic sphere.

Ultimately, Imarisha aims to capacity strengthen teachers’ abilities, enabling them to positively impact learners’ lives and contribute to their holistic development, thereby fostering sustainable communities.
