The main aim of these projects is to improve teaching which assists more generally with the improvement of education. These projects help more students to engage with education empowering them to continue to a higher level. These projects instil a high value in education. This change in attitude helps education to be used as a key driver for social, environmental, cultural, political and economic development both locally and further afield. It also fits in with the Kenya Vision 2030 scheme that aims for Kenya to be a middle class economy by 2030.

What is the wider goal? ◦ What more general development impact are we trying to contribute to through this project/programme? ◦ How does this project/programme fit with our wider development strategy for the region and that of the local authorities or government?
