Mathare Children's Education

With the growing number of youth on the African continent, alongside rising unemployment, crime, and poverty, the need for effective youth leadership development programs has never been more critical. Jking Ngare, DDwithMaqC's 16th guest and Executive Director of Mathare Children's Education, shared unique insights into the strategies and approaches needed to achieve sustainable impact in youth programs. Some key highlights 💡 #Access is essential, as #inclusiveprograms help marginalized youth overcome barriers to opportunities. 💡 #Longterm commitment is crucial for lasting impact, requiring sustained engagement rather than short-term efforts. 💡 A #tailoredcurriculum that is customized builds confidence and practical skills in young people. 💡 #Grassroots connections are vital, as local community ties ensure inclusive access to opportunities. 💡 Belief in #youth empowers them to lead and innovate, driving positive community change. These and other such insights will be featured in The Lives, Times, & Chapters of Luminaries Making Good Happen in Africa, a book featuring reflections from Leaders and Practitioners in the Development and Social Impact Ecosystem launching on the 26th of Sept 2024.

This Sunday, @equityafiakenya staff visited us and spent quality time with the MCE children. They organized fun games, delivered motivational talks, conducted health training, and performed health checks, all aimed at ensuring our children continue to grow up as healthy as is possible. Super grateful for this support.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. — Isaiah 53:5

We had an amazing prize giving day this past weekend, that was graced by our good friends and partners from ABC barnahjálp and our dear sister Amalie Litangen Gunnerud. We recognized the efforts of the children in 2023 and awarded them while having different activities taking place.

Given the world we leave in already has its fair share of problems it’s only right if we have more leaders to solve those problems. This week we are engaging our students in different themes on leadership: a world without corruption and personal leadership as we aim to facilitate the development of #transformationalservantleadership #growthmindset #service #nocorruptiongeneration

Really glad to host our partners from Education in a briefcase, Prof. Gunnar and Prof. Ana from the University of Iceland. It was a good moment to review the tutor web mathematics program after 18 months of implementation.
