The pilot ‘Manyatta Homeschooling’ Project aims at ensuring out to school girls and young women (15 to 25 years) access basic non-formal education that enhances their livelihood and increase literacy in Samburu County. The goal of the project is to ‘Create a pathway to formal education for out-of-school girls’.

Program Objectives:

• To provide foundational numeracy and literacy skills that would allow for the transition to a formal education system
• To provide civic education focused on increasing girls’ knowledge, awareness, and understanding of girls and human rights with a sharp focus on the right to education.
• To provide transferable skills training to equip them with basic entrepreneurial, reproductive, and mental health resources enabling them to make informed choices about their lives.

Approach and methodology

The training approach should be based on adult learning principles and employ participatory methodologies such as demonstration, practical exercises, role play, and small and plenary discussions.
