ORGANIZATION: Memusi Foundation

Our teachers at Memusi are exceptional. This volunteer programme will help us increase the literacy ability of the children that we support and enhance our volunteer offer to children living in rural Kenya.

Reading with students online. We will provide you with guidance on a library and we ask you to read with a child for 20 mins before completing reading records for your supported child. The meeting with your child will happen via Zoom. You will access our library and share your screen and help guide the child through the book that they are reading. Your role as a volunteer will be to help guide them on the words that they are reading and stopping to ensure that they understand what they are reading.

About Memusi Foundation

Location:

55 Broadfield Park, Holmfirth, West Yorkshire HD9 2JQ, GB

Mission Statement

At the Memusi Foundation (1133371) we believe that every person has a right to a quality education in line with the United Nations SDG4. Through quality education every child has the opportunity to escape poverty in their own lifetime. Through our research and experience we have demonstrated that there is so much more to successful education; access to clean water, access to healthcare, community empowerment and female equality being just some of the areas that ultimately lead to a more effective education.

Description

We are a charity registered in the UK, run by a board of volunteer Trustees, with just a single part-time UK based employee for administration. We work primarily in the Magadi region in Southern Kenya. We build and operate 3 of our own Schools and run an Outreach Programme that provides support for another 18 primary schools in the region to enhance education standards for over 8,000 children. We also use our own research and resources to influence positive change for education across Kenya more broadly.

The small scale of the Foundation means that there is a clear line of sight between a donation and a positive outcome. We do not have highly paid executives to dilute that value: every penny given to us will be spent on the project we raise funds for and the benefits can be clearly evidenced. We believe this differentiates us from many other larger organizations who also support worthy causes in Africa and elsewhere around the world.
