Empower Educators, Support Dyslexic Learners

What We Achieved with Your Support

1. Teacher Training:
In May 2025, we conducted a comprehensive one-day professional development workshop o. Twenty-five teachers from Kisaju Primary School participated.

The training focused on:

• Identifying signs of neurodivergence in learners, especially dyslexia.

• Implementing differentiated inclusive instruction to cater to diverse learning needs within mainstream classrooms.

• Preparing Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) for learners identified as needing additional support.

2. Immediate Impact:
The change was evident almost immediately:

• Teachers reported an increased confidence in recognising learning difficulties and responding with empathy and effective strategies.

• Already, several learners have been identified for further support, and teachers are currently working on drafting their IEPs.

• The school administration has expressed interest in scaling up the training to reach more educators and initiate a whole-school inclusion policy.

What This Means

This milestone is a powerful step toward inclusive education in rural Kenya. Many teachers in public schools lack the tools and understanding needed to address learning differences, and learners with dyslexia often fall behind silently. With your support, we are beginning to change that narrative—one teacher, one learner, one school at a time.

Join Us Again – Your Gift Can Go Even Further in July

As we continue to expand this work to more schools, we warmly invite you to take part in the July GlobalGiving campaign, where every donation made will be matched. This is a great opportunity to double your impact and help us reach more educators and learners across underserved communities.

With the generous donations,  we conducted a workshop for teachers from schools in Kajiado County. A total of 25 teachers from seven different schools participated. The workshop focused on enhancing teachers' understanding of learners with invisible learning difficulties, including dyslexia.
During the workshop, teachers shared that each of them had at least four children in their classes whom they struggled to understand, as these students were not learning like their peers. They were unsure how to support them, and some admitted they had previously assumed the children were simply unwilling to learn or were misbehaving. The workshop’s impact extended beyond the 25 teachers in attendance, as it equipped them with the knowledge and strategies to better support these learners.

Beyond the training, six children were assessed for learning difficulties, ensuring they received early interventions tailored to their needs. These assessments were made possible by the unwavering commitment of donors who believe in every child's potential. Your generosity is breaking down barriers and unlocking opportunities for children to learn in ways that work for them.
We extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. Your contributions do more than fund a program—they transform lives. Because of you, teachers are empowered to nurture neurodivergent learners, and children who once struggled in the shadows are now stepping into the light of understanding and success.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey toward a more inclusive education system in Kenya. We still count on your support to reach more teachers in marginalized areas. As we plan upcoming workshops, we hope to continue this vital work together.
The Little by Little campaign is coming up soon—stay tuned!
