It’s 2025, and at Teach For Kenya, we’re calling this the YEAR OF MAC! 💥 MAC is an acronym that stands for:  Modelling Behavior  Aligning Resources  Catalyzing Change  For the last five years, we’ve focused our efforts on building strategic clarity, fostering stakeholder relationships and mastering our craft. We’re finally at a point where we feel like we’re great at what we do and for the next five years we’re keen to prioritize wellness, resource mobilization and data driven decision making. With a team like ours, the possibilities are endless.  We’ve also introduced a new department at TFK. The Play Department. We believe that play is a powerful tool for learning and we're tapping into that power to support the building of happy, playful and cohesive communities. Through our Learning Through Play Initiative, we are keen to see our children enjoy and own their learning. I’m excited that Brian Bosire, who has led our Recruitment Department for the last 5 years has transitioned into a new role as our first ever Head of Play. We’re excited to create from scratch and see our vision come to life.  2025 holds lots of promise for us at TFK, and we’re excited to collaborate with you all to make our vision a reality!  Happy New Year! 😊 #education #leadershipdevelopment #newyear #learningthroughplay #teachforkenya Fedinard Ochieng Iqbal Basant Anthony Wachira Rachael Mwangi Nelly Maluki (BA, MBA, MIHRM, MKIM, SHRM)

We are thrilled to kick off the year with exciting news! This month, we’re placing 109 new fellows from Cohort V, a significant step towards our vision of providing every Kenyan child with access to quality education, no matter their socio-economic background. These placements bring our total number of active fellows to an impressive 207. We have successfully expanded our reach and are now impacting 63 partner schools across Kisumu, Machakos, and Nairobi counties. Together, we are making a meaningful difference in the lives of Kenya’s children and shaping a brighter future for our nation! #Cohort5 #EducationForAll #TeachforKenya #Fellowship #QualityEducation

Three days ago, I had the incredible honor of presenting my capstone project to esteemed education stakeholders during the Teach For Kenya Partners Breakfast Meeting at Heron Hotel. Among them included the Heads of Partner Schools from Nairobi and Machakos, along with distinguished guests, including: - Our CEO, Yukabeth Kidenda - Madam Pauline Koki, Sub-County Director, Embakasi TSC - Mr.Raphael Kinyungu, Assistant Director of Teacher Management, Nairobi County - Ms. Ruth Owuor, Director of City Education, Nairobi County - Ms. Rosariah Mueni Mueni, Assistant Director of Quality Assurance, Nairobi County It was an unforgettable moment to showcase the transformative work happening in our classrooms under the Teach for Kenya fellowship. Through the Capstone Projects, we fellows are tasked with identifying critical education challenges in our communities and designing innovative solutions during our second year. For me, the challenge was clear: bridging the gaps in digital literacy and math performance for students in underserved areas through Dijitali Math Club—a program that integrates technology and education to equip learners with the tools they need for the 21st-century workplace. ✨ What Makes Dijitali Math Club Special? ✨️ - Students learn math using AI-powered tools like Excel, Tableau, and Scratch. - Confidence-building is a key focus, and the results speak volumes: 75% of my students improved their math performance by over 30%. - Students like Glory Tasha, a standout member of the program, have gone on to represent Kenyan students on international platforms, advocating for digital literacy. I’m immensely grateful to Teach For Kenya for creating a platform where educators like me can dream big and implement impactful solutions. A heartfelt thank you to my Leadership Development Coach, Anthony Wachira , whose guidance has been instrumental in shaping this journey. As I look ahead to the final year of this fellowship, I’m reminded that the work of transforming education requires collaboration, innovation, and unwavering determination. Here's to more learning, more impact, and ensuring that every Kenyan child has access to quality education, regardless of their background. 📚💻 Together, let’s redefine education for a brighter tomorrow. #TeachForKenya #EducationForAll #DigitalLiteracy #CapstoneProject #DijitaliMathClub

Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk about the Capstone Projects that we as fellows at Teach For Kenya implement in our second year of fellowship to the different education stakeholders during the Teach For Kenya stakeholder meeting.

Teach For Kenya is committed to ending education inequalities and ensuring that one day every Kenyan child will have access to quality education regardless of their social economic background. My first year of fellowship has been fulfilling and I have gained new experiences and thank you to Eila Oketch , my leadership development coach who has been instrumental in shaping my passion and Advocacy towards promoting quality education and girls education. Let us see now the next year of the fellowship will turn out and looking forward to more learning. We take a rest to regain our strength.
