THRIVE AID - What We Do

Education

Goal

To improve academic performance and literacy among young people, capitalizing on their intellectual abilities to achieve success.As an organization we believe that education is one of the greatest equalizers of the different social classes and genders and a tool for directly and indirectly improving lives. The focus of this thematic area is improving access to education, achievement in education and ultimately the improvement of lives through education. We do this through tutoring sessions, providing linkage to scholarship opportunities, and providing library services.

OUR ACADEMIC SUPPORT MODEL

Tutoring sessions

Thrive Aid utilizes a "more knowledgeable other" approach, involving tutors and peer group leaders, to offer academic support to young people. The organization provide tuition in various subjects to learners in grades 8 to 12 at selected sites and operates a digital peer support platform through WhatsApp.

Library Sessions

without studying may not be adequate, hence the need to equip the learners with books which they can read and study. The organization through its library also runs a reading program aimed at improving the literacy levels and reading culture among young people. This is done through a monthly reading challenge and book reviews for the challenge.

Together, we can create a future where every individual has the opportunity to thrive through education.
