A Kenyan mother's dream to establish a library at the local primary school in her childhood village has helped renew education for the children there. With support from donors, a new library classroom was constructed and equipped with books, laptop computers, and other resources. Additional funding is being sought to build nine new classrooms, install a village water well, and establish boarding facilities to make the school more sustainable and able to serve students from outside the local area.

Pamoja is a sustainable scenario regarding Oral Health Education for Kenyan kindergartens developed during my master thesis.
The project was conducted on field for 3 months collecting insights and inspiration for the design phase concluded in the Netherlands.
The idea includes the ideation of a natural toothpaste together with the design of a school dispenser that allows children to learn, by making, how to prepare the dentifrice by their own. Furthermore, all the ingredients are planted in the school garden so the kindergarten can supply regularly toothpaste to the pupils and children can receive an ecological education by the environment.

20. The Mission
• One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit
organization whose mission is to provide every
• child in the world access to new channels of
learning, sharing and self-expression.
• In partnership with the Zamora Teran
Foundation, OLPC is working to provide each
child with a
• rugged, low-cost, low-power connected laptop
and/or tablet computer that empowers
individual
• learning and growth.
21. The Five Principles
OLPC is an education project, not a laptop project.
1. The children keep the laptops. They can take them home and use
them wherever they want.
2. The focus is on primary school education, on children 6 to 12 years
old.
3. Deployments saturate the region. The project is implemented in
entire classrooms and schools so no child or teacher gets left out.
4. Children can connect to the Internet. This enables them to
communicate with the world and have access to vast resources of
information.
5. Children are free to grow and adapt. The laptops come with free
and open-source software that is easy to use and adapt, which
enables children to become active participants in a global learning
community.
