👏 Celebrating Incredible Educators 👏 Teachers play an important role in our schools and community. Their unwavering commitment to educating and inspiring our learners is nothing short of extraordinary. From nurturing young minds to fostering a love of learning, our teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our communities. Their passion and perseverance drive positive change, empowering students to reach their full potential 🚀 Meet Teacher Ann Muthoni! “My name is Ann Muthoni. I am a grade 3 class teacher at Olotasha Primary School. I love teaching young learners because it gives me hope for a greater future. Since HPF came to our school, I have seen great improvement in our students. For example, my grade 3 students' concentration levels have improved because the classrooms are well-built and renovated, and the students have desks to sit on. I am a happy teacher, and each day I look forward to coming to class. This year, I am planning to engage my students more in practical subjects such as arts and crafts and physical education.” To all the amazing educators in our schools, thank you for your invaluable contributions. Your impact goes beyond the classroom and will be felt for generations to come. #HumanPracticeFoundation #TeacherAppreciation #Education #CommunityImpact #Inspiration #FutureLeaders

🌾 Learners Visit Agriculture Show in Meru County, Kenya 🌾 Last week, our 4K Club students from Gakando, Kiborione, and Mburugiti primary schools had the incredible opportunity to participate in the Agricultural Society of Kenya (ASK) Show in Meru County. This year's theme was "Promoting Smart Agriculture and Trade Initiatives for Sustainable Economic Growth." The students gained valuable skills in enhancing agricultural productivity, adapting to climate change, driving innovation, and advancing environmental conservation. These skills align perfectly with HPF's goal of transforming our schools into centers of excellence. By engaging young farmers in such events, we nurture the next generation of agricultural leaders, equipping them with the knowledge and abilities necessary to implement sustainable practices. The students were enthusiastic and grateful for the opportunity to learn and network, marking a significant step in their agricultural education. A big thank you to our donors, Honore Foundation, for supporting our agriculture project. #HumanPracticeFoundation #AgricultureEducation #SustainableFarming #4KClub #ASKShow #MeruCounty #FutureFarmers

🌟 Exciting Developments at Ololomei Primary and Junior School, Narok County, Kenya! 🌟 In less than 14 months, Ololomei Primary and Junior School has undergone a remarkable transformation. With the support of Human Practice Foundation, the school now boasts a brand-new block with spacious, well-equipped classrooms, an administration block with a staffroom, and offices for the headteacher and deputy headteacher. Additionally, a newly equipped library serves as a resource center offering digital services like image projection and supports digital literacy using tablets loaded with educational materials. The school feeding program has significantly enhanced retention and increased enrollment to 512 learners. Mr. Walter Omondi, a language teacher, shares his experience: "My name is Walter Omondi, a teacher at Ololomei Primary and Junior School in the Maasai Mara region of Kenya. Ololomei is a school largely funded by the HPF. There have been immense and overwhelmingly positive changes over the last one and a half years. The new block with spacious, well-equipped classrooms, the administration block with a staffroom, and the headteacher and deputy headteacher offices have all been incredible additions. We now actively hold library lessons on Tuesdays and Fridays. Learners love the comfortable seats that promote relaxation and learning. Many of our learners had never seen a library before, and with the library provided by HPF, learning has become interesting and easy. The library has influenced some learners from nearby schools to transfer to our school. Enrollment has increased, and learners have become more serious about reading storybooks than ever before. We look forward to achieving greatness together."
