​Tujifunze Plus_ Education Project (2021-2023)

Tujifunze Plus is a two year  project funded by GRIC and implemented by U – Tena Youth Organization. The intervention was designed and implemented to address learning disruption caused by Covid – 19 in Kenya, which forced learning institutions to be closed. The project is aimed at improving learning outcomes for primary school pupils both boys and girls directly by providing alternative academic learning opportunities. The project focuses on community participation and facilitating remedial sessions within the week and over the weekend supporting time takers in numeracy and literacy in a school set up. In addition, Tujifunze fosters strong collaboration with the local community including parents, community leaders, and all stakeholders who play a pivotal role in mobilizing and supporting learners. The project was designed to offer interactive academic learning opportunities, facilitate life skills training, engage with the local community as well as reach out to the parents through counselling sessions. Specifically, the project was to improve learning outcomes for learners by providing access to after school learning opportunities for struggling learners and life skills sessions in Mukuru areas.
