Preparing Cheery Students
For The Future

Recognizing the transformative power of technology, Cheery has integrated digital literacy into its curriculum to ensure that even the most underserved children can compete in a rapidly evolving global tech landscape.

The Importance of Digital Competency

Digital literacy is no longer just an advantage; it is a necessity. UNESCO highlights that digital skills are critical for more than 90% of future jobs (“Global Education Monitoring Report 2020”). This global trend underscores the importance of integrating digital skills into education systems, especially in underserved communities like Kibera.

Cheery’s Digital Literacy Programs

At Cheery Education Centre, digital literacy encompasses more than just teaching students how to use a computer. It involves critical thinking, safe internet practices, programming languages, and digital content creation, providing a comprehensive digital education that opens doors to future job opportunities. The center has committed to providing access to necessary technological tools and internet connectivity, ensuring that students can learn effectively.

Why Digital Literacy Matters for Kibera’s Children

For the children of Kibera, digital literacy represents a pathway out of poverty. By mastering the language of technology, they can access better educational resources, connect with wider learning communities, and ultimately, secure employment in the digital economy. Cheery’s commitment to this aspect of education is a testament to their belief in the potential of every child to shape their future and contribute to the socioeconomic development of their community.

By focusing on digital literacy, Cheery Education Centre is not just teaching skills; it is changing lives. They are ensuring that children in Kibera are not passive consumers of technology but active participants and innovators in the digital age.

OUR PROGRAMS

Feeding the
Body and Mind

At times, it can be difficult for people to understand food insecurity, especially its profound impact on learning and development in children. For many of Cheery Education Centre’s scholars this is a critical issue they contend with daily. So, we address it head-on through our Life Skills Development and Nutritional Support programs.

Empowering Through Life Skills

Life skills are essential for all children, but they are particularly vital for those in challenging environments like Kibera. Cheery’s Life Skills program equips students with practical knowledge and skills that promote emotional and social wellbeing. This includes conflict resolution, effective communication, decision-making, and critical thinking. These skills empower students to navigate the complexities of their environment, make informed decisions, and take control of their futures.

Combating Food Insecurity with Nutritional Support

Understanding the direct connection between nutrition and cognitive function, Cheery also places a strong emphasis on providing consistent, nutritious meals to students. Many children in Kibera come to school on an empty stomach, which can severely hinder their ability to focus and learn. Cheery’s Nutritional Support program ensures that every student receives balanced meals throughout the school day, which not only aids their physical health but also enhances their academic performance. This initiative is crucial in maintaining the energy levels necessary for active learning and participation in school activities.
