Our Goal -
Our goal is to transform the prospects of sub-Saharan Africa in a generation – by showing nursery school teachers the power of play, and how to make educational games out of waste material.

The Challenge - 
Africa faces multiple challenges - poor governance, lack of investment, abuse of resources. The biggest challenge of all is its demographics. Today the population of the Continent accounts for 17% of the world’s. That’s forecast to be over 40% by 2100. In our view, these difficulties can all be addressed through better education. With better education people would choose stronger leaders, attract more investment and husband resources more wisely.

Our Approach -
We provide training courses to nursery school teachers that aim to stimulate and educate in the hope of transforming a child’s formative first years of school. The courses run for two years and consist of sixteen training Modules that explain how best to organise a classroom, the importance of play and how to use waste materials to make games and activities. In addition, our Trainers arrange support groups and visit the teachers in their class rooms monthly and then, at a reduced level, indefinitely. We aim to create clusters of self-supporting nursery school teachers in the cities and towns of the countries that we address. The teachers welcome our involvement because it doesn’t cost them anything; unlocks their creativity; makes them feel valued and value adding; creates a sense of community amongst them; and clearly benefits the children.
