Mission and Strategy
The objective of the T4T Foundation is to support the educational development in Kenya together with the Kenyans, in an inspirational and motivational manner.
The success of development aid in Kenya is highly dependent on the enthusiasm and commitment of the Kenyan people themselves. Therefore we believe that the chance of success is greatest when people recognize the problems that hamper their development, when they take ownership of the solution and when they feel responsible for the results. In other words, a key success factor for our work in Kenya is ownership.
A second factor for success is partnership. We believe it is important to deploy the available skills and expertise from both sides as effectively and efficiently as possible. This means that we use everyone's experience, knowledge, available expertise and specializations of both the Kenyans and the Dutch.
The Foundation aims to fulfill its objective to ensure that:
- Schools and school teams develop into learning organizations, where educational reform is being planned;
- The impact of this approach is reflected in an increase of the KCPE-score (250 or higher) of all schools involved;
- There is an increase of children being educated, and this way forms a contribution to reaching MDG 2: 'Education for All'.
