The virtual learning program involves self-paced and collaborative learning modules. Students are provided with digital tablets, internet, active numbers and headphones set up to support learning. Students are closely monitored and graded to evaluate learning outcomes.

After surveying 1,310 students from over 10 communities we discovered 96% of students surveyed were eager to return to school, and the top reasons were missed interactions with peers and teachers. We also realized that without learning engagement, 92% of these children faced the risk of abuse and some of them wouldn’t return to school. Setting up the virtual learning studio and platform was the most forward-thinking solution to provide. It was designed to mimic classroom interactions found in brick and mortar school settings. This is the first of its kind in the country and within the Sub-Saharan region and we invite you to join us in supporting, sustaining and scaling this program.

Younger learners are engaged in community-based learning clusters within households supervised by a community teacher. Trained community teachers take learners through interactive technology enabled sessions, through videos and educational games, utilizing globally sound teaching aids from laptops and tablets. Each teacher is assigned a cluster of learners within the household who he/she is responsible to monitor, mentor, continuously evaluate and share learning resources regularly. This program is sustainable in ensuring that learners who do not have access to schools can still learn within communities, thereby reducing the rate of abuse and illiteracy.
