Our Goal is to strive to improve the quality of existing formal educational institutions and to create new routes into education for all members of the community.
Our Work
V2V supports education in the village in a number of ways:
Through our volunteering programme volunteers act as teaching assistants in the local primary school, helping children and teachers with English. This is very important as while all classes are taught in Swahili in primary school in secondary the language of instruction is English and many children struggle with this sudden change.
V2V also supports teacher training, funding teachers training where possible and when teachers volunteer through our placement they are often involved in supporting the development of teachers.
V2V also runs twice weekly English classes open to everyone in the village.
Our cross-cutting project with HIV/AIDS using the straight talk at secondary school with children within age range of 11-18.
Why Education?
10 per cent of children of primary-school age are out of school, 72 million children worldwide were denied the right to education and almost half of these children live in sub-Saharan Africa. At least an additional 29 million children will still be out of school in 2015. Nearly half the children currently out of school have never had any contact with formal education and in sub-Saharan Africa two thirds of them will probably never enrol. In Tanzania and Uganda over 30% of both populations are illiterate; approximately 40% of women and just over 20% of men.
