The Challenge

Rural schools face a silent crisis. Teacher vacancies leave classrooms operating on survival mode. Children attend but do not progress. When learning stalls, disengagement follows and it leads to dropout.

We work with the teachers who are already in these classrooms. Instead of asking the system for more resources, we strengthen the ones it has. We train teachers to use theatre, storytelling, and visual arts to teach English in ways that spark curiosity and build voice in children.

How Do We Do It?

We do the work where it matters the most: inside classrooms. Our coaches observe lessons, refine plans, and help teachers shift from instruction that is memorized to a pedagogy that is experienced. Through workshops and conferences, we bring teachers together in a professional community that shares successes, learns from practice, and builds the confidence to sustain change over time.
