Kangemi Resource Centre

About this cause:

The Kangemi Resource Centre was started in 2002 by Alix D'Ansembourg to support non-formal schools by providing training for the teachers. Alix started the KRC under the umbrella of the NGO, Orphelins sans Frontieres East Africa.

Regular training sessions for teachers at non-formal schools are organised at the centre on a regular basis. This has a direct impact on the educational standards of children.

Non-formal schools are community-based primary schools not registered with the Kenyan government. To shed some light on primary education in Kenya, if one were to attend a Government school the classroom would be filled with over 80 children all vying for the teacher’s attention and resources stretched to capacity.

In lieu of this, local communities have taken it upon themselves to provide alternative primary education, however the teachers often lack formal training and basic resources such as books, pens and paper, power connection and access to water and sanitation.
