Tech Enabled Agriculture
Through a partnership between 4BM and M-Lugha, supported by the UK-Kenya Tech Hub , this project established a school garden as a center for agricultural innovation and learning in Yathrib School, Garissa, one of the ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) regions in North Eastern Kenya. In a community primarily made up of pastoralists, the project introduced both climate smart tech methods unfamiliar to the region and mobile technology, expanding agricultural education and promoting sustainable practices.
In addition to benefiting the students, the project actively engaged the broader community, positioning the school as a hub for agricultural learning. By incorporating key partners such as the Garissa Million Trees initiative, the County Government of Garissa, the Ministry of Education, and the Tumaini Fund, the initiative fostered collaboration and ensured a long-term impact in advancing environmental stewardship and agricultural resilience in the region.

M-lugha in partnership with Raspberry Pi Foundation and FCDC trained 80 teachers across 8 counties and 8 master trainers on Computing curriculum.

We have several programs aims at introducing creative coding and robotics to young learners in the region.
E-limu Mashinani
Northern Kenya is faced by one of the extreme education crisis in Kenya. The region experienced mass exodus of non local teachers due to insecurity and leaving most schools without enough teachers and most of them closed completely. Other challenges include poor performance, school dropout, lack of enough learning materials, climate migration and conflicts.
E-limu Mashinani is an offline digital learning program where learners access high quality digital content without the need for internet. Learners can access well curated form 1to form 4 digital content hence bridging the teachers shortage and quality if learning.
