ART OF KENYAN YOUTH

We are Celebrating the Purchase of one acre of beautiful farm land
to build a Learning and Technology Center for our growing community of youth.

The spaces that we rented for our students did not meet the needs of a growing group of students. They requested quiet study rooms, a lab for computers,  and a space for younger children to sit together on chairs that fit them. We are working with Andrew Sidford Architects to design an multi-room flexible space with air and sunlight, made with local green materials.  The students have begun planting trees and a garden on the land. 

Our community is now Rise Kenya Youth /They have a new board and Certificate of their CBO status.

CoronaVirus - Its Impact in Kenya

The COVID pandemic has interrupted the fragile progress of Kenya's economy. Many who were not desperate became so. Unemployed men hang around in villages preying on innocent girls . Children are not in school, and are losing their hard won academic gains. Women are unable to go to the markets, and to provide for their children. Small Solution's Kenyan partner Hands of Charity is providing learning for youth, food for their families, but most of all hope for their futures. 

​Small Solutions Big Ideas is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering Kenyan youth through technology. Our mission is to provide schools in Kenya with important resources, such as laptops and tablets, which have revolutionized education in the Western World. We address community needs during school break workshops. We are based in Newburyport, MA and Bungoma, Kenya. Our Kenyan Project Leader is Bonaventure Masika serving  schools in the Bungoma region hill villages.
