At the heart of our #BestSchoolsInitiative is the belief that when students stay in school, they can succeed. This week, our #BSI team brought together parents of our scholarship students to share key updates on their children’s academic progress and the support systems in place to help them thrive. This begins our onboarding process, working hand‑in‑hand with families to remove the barriers that keep children out of the classroom. We are improving learning outcomes by making sure children in #Kibera have the opportunity, stability, and support to stay in school! #education #youthempowerment #learning #CFKAfrica
