2 cross-sectoral coalitions in Kenya and Pakistan launched and supported;

52 senior educational leaders connected and trained.

“I cannot leave here without saying that it was the best learning opportunity for me in years. Sobral is a game changer.”

Samuel Marigat, County Director, Teachers Service Commission, who is leading a pilot to transform Kyriniaga Couty into the "Sobral of Kenya"

‘‘From day 1 to day 6 each hour was crafted to perfection for a mind-heart-soul stirring impact bonding, with extraordinary care and hospitality. We have no words to match our thoughts as we fused in new entities within and across countries, as humans in search of humanity, sustained by the passion to learn and make ‘learning’ come together as the core of our ‘transformative reforms agenda’.’

Baela Jamil, CEO Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi, Pakistan

“(...) I will not land back in Nairobi before I say: It was all kindness, a conspiracy of kindness…

…Cheeky greeting from happy children, all kindness

Inspiration by the headteachers of Sobral, all kindness

Hammock swings at Lemann Centre, all kindness

Protocol-less session with reformist politicians, all kindness

Dancing our hearts out over dinner, all kindness

Receiving gifts and hugs in closed circle, all kindness

Bidding goodbye to newfound friends, all kindness (...)”

John Mugo, CEO Zizi Afrique, Kenya
