Here's a glimpse into the challenges CMDA is looking to bridge: 𝑳𝒊𝒎𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑹𝒆𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒄𝒆𝒔: A lack of books, qualified teachers, and proper school infrastructure hinders their learning potential. 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚: Girls often face cultural barriers to attending school, limiting their opportunities. CMDA is making a difference!

𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍𝒔: Breaking down barriers and advocating for equal educational opportunities. 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒄𝒚: Creating a foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth. How can you help? 𝑫𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒕𝒆: Your contribution, big or small, can make a real difference in a child's life. Spread awareness: Share our story and help us reach more people who care about education. 𝑽𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒆𝒓: If you have skills or resources, connect with us and see how you can contribute. Together, we can create a brighter future for the children of West Pokot! #education #educationforall #westpokot #literacy #CMDA #kenya

| International Day of Education | Today, on International Day of Education, we’re reminded of how education has the power to change lives and shape brighter futures. But for many children in South Africa, accessing quality education is a tough journey. In the communities where Ranyaka works, schools face big challenges: overcrowded classrooms, safety concerns, poor infrastructure, limited parental involvement, and learners affected by gangsterism and substance abuse. These struggles hold back not just academic progress, but the dreams and potential of countless young people. That’s why Ranyaka’s Strong Schools programme is stepping up. By working hand-in-hand with teachers, parents, and partners, we’re tackling key issues like: •School safety, giving learners a secure space to grow. •Food security, because hungry children can’t learn. •Infrastructure, creating schools that inspire pride. •Parent involvement, connecting families to their children’s education. •Teacher development, empowering educators to lead. •Sport and recreation, supporting healthy minds and bodies. This is a team effort because the future of our children, and our country, depends on it. Education is more than a right. It’s the key to breaking poverty, unlocking opportunity, and building stronger communities. Let’s celebrate education today and work towards a brighter tomorrow for every child. #InternationalDayOfEducation #StrongSchools #EducationForAll #Ranyaka

Why is designing equitable schools, learning environments and workplaces so important to us? Maraea Hunia, our Tumu Te Aho Māori, recently spoke with North and South Magazine where she shared her stories about the deep rooted inequities and discrimination Māori have faced in both education and workplace settings. Shedding light on the importance of designing for equity, Maraea recalls from history that: “Native Schools were set up by design to prepare Māori students for low-skilled manual occupations and to culturally assimilate them by stripping their language. But even the manual and agricultural training was at a lower level than that offered to Pakeha.” Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gGBYfjgT
