.WATU MOJA LEE ACADEMY.
.SMART LEARNING PILOT.
The Beginning of Blended Learning
November 2018 is when Roland Diethelm from wiLearn 4 Life joined the Watu Moja Lee Academy (WMLA) team in a makeshift primary school in the middel of the largest slum in Africa. Carrying two learning lab cases for the Kickoff worshop to Kenya everybody got excited about the mobile information technology arriving at the school. The pilot project was started with just 10 iPads sponsored by World Vision Switzerland, a wifi projector and a RACHEL offline education server.  


Yakub Jaffar is the founder and builder of the private school. Before he had a call to serve his community he was once a feared gang member in the slum. Yakub gathered his 9 teachers, project partners and the school administrator to welcome the new era smart learning with digital mulitmedia tools. The Swiss towel symbolised the servant attitude we all should adopt as we are entrusted with children coming to school hungry for food and hungry to learn for life! 316 chilrden living in the Kibera slum were enrolled at the school. Watu Moja Lee caters for pre-school to grade 6  with 316 pupils enrolled in 10 classrooms. The general lack of resources regularly hampers the effort making the employment of well trained teachers nearly impossible.  Parents who are supposed to pay tuition fees are paying very irregular because food and shelter for their family are at a higher priority. In turn the school often lacks the resources to pay the teachers on time for their work.


wiLearn 4 life together with PD Foundation decided to support this exciting education initiative to bring change and hope for a brighter future to these kids at WMLA. wiLearn has introduced mobile self-oriented learning to align the school to the Government's new education strategy.
