Social Scope

Objective: The project was born from the desire to help students who are unable to purchase devices needed to participate in online lessons during the COVID-19 health emergency.

Description: The COVID-19 health emergency has resulted in the closure of schools moving to an exclusively distance learning program. A fundamental element for achieving the objectives of the COVID-19 distant education project is to assign tablets to economically disadvantage students who, despite having an internet connection, cannot participate in online teaching, which has now become mandatory in order to continue their education. The Mamo Educational Foundation will contribute to this need by donating a certain number of tablets to schools and will give the faculty the responsibility of allocating the tablets to those students who need them most.

The aim of this project is to build a boarding school that will welcome nuns and girls who live in the vicinity of Hahim, and give them the opportunity to receive an education. The first phase of the project has already started. The Mamo Educational Foundation will contribute financially to the construction of the boarding school.

Objective: The project came from an idea to offer a sense of well-being and happiness to families who are living in hardship . The hope is to strengthen the cognitive and affective resources of these children so that they have the right tools to ease their entry into school and society.

Description: A parent who reads with their child makes a gesture of love that positively influences emotional, relational and cognitive development. Through shared reading the parent-child relationship is intensified; it is an educational practice that expands thinking and creates happy and fundamental moments of affection. The Mamo Educational Foundation will contribute to the creation / enhancement of a library for children and begin a "book loan" program that gives adults direct access to books.

Objective: The project “Adotta un’Insegnante” (“Adopt a Teacher”) aims to support the St. Mario School located in Bouye, Kenya, in order to provide qualified teachers to allow local children to receive an adequate primary education.

Description: We believe teachers represent an essential asset for today’s society due to their task of laying the foundations for the community allowing it to grow socially and economically, thus determining the future of the society.

Many schools and educational realities and facilities are unable to bear the costs of teachers by themselves; because of this, we at Mamo Educational Foundation decided to create the project "Adotta un’Insegnante" with the main objective of allowing these realities to provide adequate and qualified teachers and educators.

The primary targets and beneficiaries of the project are children and young people who receive education and educational support, but, less directly, the communities they live in can also benefit in a significant way from the implementation of our project.

Territory of action: Kenya, Africa.

Targets: The targets of the project are the 450 pupils of the school, many of whom are orphans or have been suffering from serious diseases, such as HIV, who are given school preparation from kindergarten to middle school. Moreover, thanks to the project "Adotta un’Insegnante", the school can ensure a workplace for the teachers, the manager and other school auxiliaries, diverting the funds destined to them for other primary needs.

Starting year: 2020

Update

In 2022 the St. Mario School was rated as one of the best schools in Kenya, reaching the highest percentage of students admitted to the Junior Secondary School in the country, a goal that was also achieved thanks to the increase in teachers number staff through the implementation of the project.

With the start of the new school year, the Education Reform in Kenya will be introduced: it will involve changes to the school system, such as a more specific focus on enhancing individual skills and introducing computer science, art and science classes; our project is therefore constantly evolving to include this and other future needs.
