Mission Statement
At Flying Kites, we provide a competitive, Whole Child education and access to integrative services for vulnerable students in rural Kenya, inspiring lifelong learners who have the tools to thrive and contribute to their communities as self-sufficient and productive citizens.
About This Cause
We believe that education is a path out of poverty and we envision a future where prosperity, gender equality, and economic sustainability are attained – even in the most vulnerable communities – through access to quality education and holistic support for every child. In order to achieve our vision, all Flying Kites programs seek to give students, teachers, and schools the resources and support they need to succeed. We have two core programs under which all of our initiatives are framed: 1) Flying Kites Academy (FKA) serves as a model school in a region where access to a basic education is not guaranteed. Here, vulnerable students receive a competitive primary education and integrative support aimed at meeting the needs of the Whole Child – including meals, arts and athletic programs, access to medical care and social services – to ensure that all students are healthy, safe, engaged, challenged, and supported. 2) Flying Kites School Network (FKSN) is a cohort of 5 resource-poor public primary schools in the South Kinangop District. In partnership with the Kenya Ministry of Education, and in collaboration with non-profit partners, Flying Kites supports schools in our network with intensive interventions aimed at helping them meet the needs of the Whole Child. a. Teacher Training Institute (TTI): Our commitment to investing in our own teachers has been the single-most important factor in the delivery of our Whole Child model. Unfortunately, teachers in our school network lack access to resources and training to help foster and develop their own basic teaching skills. Through the TTI, Flying Kites aims to equip rural Kenya’s teachers with the tools they need to create challenging, nurturing, and supportive classroom experiences. 8. The Village: Schools in our network receive access to our cohort of government, non-profit, and private partners, collectively referred to as The Village, who collaborate to deliver coordinated interventions that help schools overcome challenges and address barriers to learning, such as lack of clean water, school resources, uniforms, and more.
