Education project details:


	Vocational training for 100 youths, Cameroon, 2011 Stop Kindermisbruik (No Child Abuse) and its local partner ASSEJA want to offer vocational training to 100 underprivileged youths, The trainings will consist of 3 months of theory and an apprentice-based training of 6 months up to 2 years (depending on the trade) at small existing businesses. The program will be offered in four cities: Yaoundé, Maroua, Bertoua and Ebolowa. The most popular trades are silk-screen printing, painting, tailoring, hairdressing/aesthetics, restaurant/pastry making and computer graphics. From previous experience, it turns out that 80% of teenagers that finish their training (on average, there's a 5% dropout rate) start their own self-supporting businesses. The other 20% generally has a good chance of remaining with the small businesses they were trained at. In 2011, the Turing Foundation will contribute €38,000 to the project (50% of training costs). see also: Stop Kindermisbruik: other projects ASSEJA: other projects Other projects in focus country Cameroon Other vocational training projects Vocational training for youths, Cameroon
	Teacher training in Northern Cameroon, 2011 VSO sends out vocational specialists to developing countries in Africa and Asia who can share their knowledge and experience with local organisations, helping them to do their work in a more efficient way. The project that will run in Northern Cameroon for the coming three years means that four specialists will develop training modules for teachers, headmasters, parents' councils and civil servants serving education. Moreover, several activities are organised to make education more accessible to girls. The Turing Foundation contributes € 90,000 (€30.000 in 2011). see also: VSO: other projects Other projects in focus country Cameroon Other teacher training projects Teacher training in Far North Region, Cameroon
	Vocational Education for the Loita Maasai, Narok South District, Kenya, 2010-2011 In Kenya, the Edukans Foundation and local organization ILIDP strive to make high-quality and relevant education more easily accessible for the Loita Maasai in the Narok South district. Every six months, forty youths are trained in professions like wood-, leather- and metalworking, tailoring, bricklaying, car mechanics, tour guiding and driving. Where possible, trainings are given within the community through apprenticeship. In 2009, the Turing Foundation contributed €35,000 to the project, and will extend its support by contributing €18,000 in 2010. see also: ILIDP: other projects Edukans: other projects Other projects in focus country Kenya Other vocational training projects Loita Maasai, Narok South District, Kenya, 2010-2011
	Teacher training and school leaders' course, Southeast Kenya, 2011 Twice a year, Teachers4Teachers organizes trainings by Dutch educational professionals for principals, teachers and education authorities in Kenya. The foundation is also developing a two-year training for school principals at the Shanzu Teacher Training College in Mombasa. The training's aim is to contribute to the development of principals' leadership skills and teachers' professional skills, so as to improve school management and education, as well as stimulate children's performance at school. In 2011 and 2012, the Turing Foundation will contribute €64,000 to these activities (50% of project cost). see also: Teachers 4 Teachers: other projects Other projects in focus country Kenya Other teacher training projects Teacher training and school leaders' course, Southeast Kenya
	Educational Governance, Doutchi and Filingué, Niger, 2010 In the Niger departments of Dogondoutchi and Filingué, French NGO Aide et Action is dedicating itself to the improvement of the quality of education in seventeen rural areas.

	Educational/Food Programme for 10,000 school children, Thika, Kenya, 2010 The Macheo Children's Centre runs a children's home in Thika, Kenya and supports several primary schools in nearby slums. Schools in Kenya do not charge a tuition fee, but some cannot afford the obligatory school uniform, or are unable to come to school every day since that means going a day without food. This programme therefore distributes plain, free meals and donates school uniforms to the very poorest of children. The daily, nutritious meal has led to a substantial increase of students at the schools involved, as well as a significant improvement of school results. In 2009, 2820 children received a daily meal. Macheo wants to expand the programme to 10,000 children. From 2010 up to and including 2012, the Turing Foundation will contribute €105,000 to the education/food programme. The Turing Foundation has supported this Cause before by donating €62,000. see also: Macheo Children's Centre: other projects Other projects in focus country Kenya Kianjau Primary School

	Teacher Training, Kenia en Tanzania, 2010 In Kenya and Tanzania, Terre des Hommes is working with local partners to improve the quality of secondary education at government schools. Teachers are being trained in modern teaching methods, exam methods and the subjects mathematics, geography, chemistry and English. In Kenya 100 teachers will be trained over a period of 4 years, starting with two-day modules throughout the year that are repeated and elaborated on every year. In Tanzania, 40 teachers will be trained every year during a three-week summer course. The Turing Foundation is contributing €27,000 to the project. Update july 2011: The project's outcome has been disappointing. In Mara, Tanzania for example, only 20 teachers have been trained instead of 40, and teacher training in Turkana, Kenya were given by local teachers instead of professionals from Nairobi. As a result, the costs have turned out to be lower than was previously expected, so our donation has been lowered from €27,000 to €11,284. see also: Terre des Hommes: other projects Other projects in focus country Kenya Other projects in focus country Tanzania Other teacher training projects New teaching tools, Kenia en Tanzania

	Educational/Food Programme for 1180 children of Several Primary Schools in Thika, Kenya, 2009-2009 One of the projects of the Macheo Children's Centre is to develop a children's home in Thika. Apart from that, it supports the nearby Kianjau Primary School. Everyone in the slum of Kiandutu can attend this school, as long as they wear the prescribed school uniform. However, not every one can afford this uniform, or even afford to come to school every day. A school day often means a day without a meal. This project therefore offers uniforms to all the children and enables the school to cook a simple, free meal for all its pupils every day. The Turing Foundation already supported this education/food programme of the Kianjau Primary School in 2007. In 2008, the programme will be extended to 1180 pupils of the Kianjau and Athena Primary Schools in Thika. The Turing Foundation contributes € 40,000 to the project for these two schools in 2008. Furthermore, the Turing Foundation contributes € 12,000 to the building of vegetable greenhouses, allowing the school to become independent of funding in the future. see also: Macheo Children's Centre: other projects Other projects in focus country Kenya Kianjau Primary School
	Educational projects Liliane Foundation 2009 The Liliane Foundation provides direct, small-scale and tailor-made help to handicapped children and young people in developing countries. In many cases, the Liliane Foundation helps those children to go to school. What especially appeals to the Turing Foundation is that the Liliane Foundation in this way offers opportunities to children who cannot be helped by any other educational relief organisation, because their needs are too small-scaled. Often, these needs concern one single child in a location where education is available despite poverty, but of which the child cannot make use because of its handicap. Just like last year, the Turing Foundation donates € 150,000 to the Liliane Foundation in 2009 for help to children in the field of education. With this amount, the Liliane Foundation will be able to help more than 1,500 children. see also: Kinderen kunnen naar school dankzij Turing Foundation Liliane Fonds: other projects Thanks to a prosthesis, these children can now go to school
