Childhood Education

Virtual Village: 
Mali is a country of about 13.1 million people, with a literacy rate of 19 percent. Childhood education is imperative for the development of our nation. Plan works with us to improve pre-school, primary school and informal education to allow children to learn in a variety of situations. We also strive to help our adults by encouraging literacy training programs. This is especially critical for women, who often have been restricted from attending school due to their traditional household roles.

Poor Performance

Virtual Village: 
Students in the primary school tell us why they have trouble performing well at school, and why they do not feel motivated sometimes to continue studying.

Kwale, Kenya

Here in Kwale, about 15 of us young men and women from a local secondary school got together to make some videos and photos of our community. Our community is a rural one. We live near to a national park where elephants roam along with other animals. We have lots of palm trees and grow plenty of fruits and vegetables to eat. To do this project, we worked for a few weeks together with a few teachers and community members, discussing what the good things are in the community, and what things we'd like to change in our lives. We discussed our traditions and also many of the new things that are coming to pass in our lives as young people. Much of what we discussed is shown here. We hope you'll take a look around and tell us what you think! Do you also experience some of the challenges that we face?
