ADVANCING LEARNING OUTCOMES FOR TRANSFORMATION CHANGE

U-Tena Youth Organization in partnership with the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) has been implementing the ALOT project since 2016. The project seeks to promote access to quality secondary education among youth in urban informal settlements, specifically Viwandani and Korogocho. The project started with 600 sixth grade boys and girls.

The project works on mentoring students on life skills, leadership, numeracy, and literacy. 

To promote leadership, the ALOT Change project utilizes exposure visits and motivational talks aimed at inspiring students to focus their goals and aim higher. Students get the change to go on one exposure visit during the three years they are involved in the project. In the past, destinations for these exposure visits have included: the Kenyatta University, the Kenyan Airports Authority, and the Strathmore University. Motivational talks typically take place about four times a year and are career-oriented.

The project also includes parental counseling in order to increase support of children's education. An award of 100 US dollars will be given to all students who have successfully been a part of the project for three years, and who have scored marks of 250 and above on their national exams.

At least 20 mentors were interviewed and thoroughly trained on the subjects of numeracy, literacy, life skills and leadership. They exist to guide and teach students involved in the program, and look forward to interacting more with the community.

Below are a couple of short documentaries on our Education Project:
