Tujifunze Plus is a community-driven education program with support from GRiC Africa. What began as a three-month COVID-19 emergency response in 2020 has grown into a comprehensive education intervention addressing foundational literacy gaps, learning outcomes, socio-emotional wellbeing and parental engagement.
The program works with Alternative Provision of Basic Education and Training (APBET) schools to ensure children, particularly those struggling with foundational skills, receive the support they need to learn, grow and thrive.
Tujifunze Plus brings together learners, teachers, youth mentors, parents and school communities to create inclusive learning environments where every child has an opportunity to reach their potential.
Why Tujifunze Plus Matters
Children growing up in Mukuru’s informal settlements face significant barriers to quality education, including gaps in foundational literacy and numeracy, economic hardship, limited learning resources and challenges that affect their wellbeing and school attendance.
Tujifunze Plus responds to these challenges by providing targeted, learner-centred support that goes beyond classroom instruction. Through foundational learning interventions, life skills education, girls’ mentorship, positive masculinity and community engagement, the program supports children to develop the knowledge, confidence and resilience they need to succeed in school and beyond.
Our Goal
To improve learning outcomes, socio-emotional wellbeing and resilience among primary school learners in Mukuru by strengthening foundational skills, peer support and parental engagement through innovative, inclusive and evidence-based interventions.
The Project Outcomes
- Improved learning outcomes, knowledge and attitudes towards education by learners
- Youth mentors supported and effectively deliver remedial sessions
- Schools Board of Management capacities strengthened for better learning outcomes
