Small Solutions Big Ideas began in 2010 in response to the overwhelming challenges met by African countries with large youth populations and limited education resources. At that time there was no internet, no cell phones, no computers in schools. We answered that call and built a strong program by supplying laptops, internet, and new learning programs.

Founding members were Sandra Thaxter, Kombana Mokonzi, Alan Papert and Ann Naimie. Sandra Thaxter is the current President, with two Kenyan members based in the US, and staff and a program manager in Kenya. Other board members are Architects, Social Workers and Educators.
