Setting students up for success

This project aims to provide a suite of wrap-around services complimentary to Impact Network's "eSchool 360" model that will support students from early childhood to secondary school and provide them with 21^st Century skills and a pathway to lifelong learning. More specifically, the project aims to construct two learning centers, latrines and libraries, providing: a multipurpose room for Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes, also serving as an auditorium for student assemblies and extra-curricular programs. The space aims to be a catalyst for community engagement, collaboration, and development. 60 students will be sponsored through secondary school and a guidance counselor, providing additional support and motivation to young girls, will be made available at the newly constructed centers. The counselor will also work with families, using Impact Networks' financial literacy programs, to ensure that they can save funds for their children's future education. The project also includes the implementation of environmental sustainability practices such as rainwater harvesting systems, education upcycling and tree planting.

Impact Network is an international non-profit organisation founded in 2009. It aims to provide high quality e-learning solutions in rural Africa. Its eSchool 360 system was developed as a way to sustain high quality education for less than $3 a month per student. It provides locally-hired teachers with a tablet, projector and training to deliver e-learning lessons effectively.
