On Saturday, January 22nd, the community training project funded by the US embassy in partnership with our school ended. The 6-month project provided training on special needs education to nearly 70 teachers, community leaders, and parents from Kariobangi and the neighboring communities.
The majority of the beneficiaries were female teachers who elevated the project’s impact on women’s empowerment in enhancing inclusive education.
Mr. Sami, the director, played a significant role in the planning, coordination, and implementation of the project. One of the core pillars of our school is providing learning spaces for students with disabilities. This explains our interest in supporting and partnering with the project.
In that regard, 5 of our teachers: Tr Monica Njeri, Tr. Justus, Tr. Lucy, Tr. Eric and Tr. Monica Amolo benefitted from the 6-month training. This increases the number of teachers with basic training in special needs education significantly. We are grateful to have been a part of the project and look forward to future community partnerships.
