Learning comes alive when learners can see it, touch it, try it and create with it.

Our Inclusive Mobile STEM Lab set up camp at Raila Education Centre in Nairobi from 18th to 21st August 2026, where, for four days, the mobile STEM bus became a hub of exploration, discovery and inclusive learning for learners with and without disabilities from different schools across Nairobi.

Through practical, hands-on activities, learners explored STEM, digital learning, literacy and numeracy in an environment designed to make learning engaging, accessible and fun.The camp took learning beyond the traditional classroom, giving learners opportunities to see, hear, touch, say, do and create as they engaged with new concepts.

For learners with disabilities, the camp provided valuable opportunities to engage with digital and STEM learning in an inclusive environment, while teachers reflected on how inclusive pedagogies and Universal Design for Learning can make learning more accessible to everyone.

The four days demonstrated that when learning is practical, inclusive and engaging, learners can participate more actively, understand concepts better and build the confidence to apply what they learn.

We are grateful to the learners, teachers, participating schools and everyone who made the STEM Holiday Camp possible.

We are delighted to officially launch the Nurturing the Future (NTF) Project, a collaborative initiative between the Municipality of Rimini and the Nairobi City County Government, implemented by Cittadinanza, Educaid, Community Pope John XXIII, and The Action Foundation.

The project aims to strengthen the governance and delivery of integrated services and systems that support Early Childhood Development (ECD) and responsive parenting across Nairobi City County, particularly within vulnerable informal settlements.

The NTF Project, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (MAECI) through the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS), is anchored on three interconnected result areas:

-Improving access to efficient and quality health services for mothers, caregivers, and children aged 0–5 years.

-Enhancing the quality and inclusiveness of early childhood education and care.

-Strengthening the socio-economic wellbeing, parenting skills, and autonomy of vulnerable mothers and caregivers.

Through this partnership the project will contribute to improved developmental outcomes for children aged 0–5 years while empowering parents and caregivers with the knowledge, skills, and support needed to nurture thriving families and communities across Nairobi County.

When the region comes together, evidence can become a catalyst for action, shaping stronger, more inclusive and responsive education systems.

The Action Foundation (TAF) is proud to be participating in the 2nd East African Community Regional Education Conference (EACREC), taking place at Safari Park Hotel from 25th–28th August 2026 under the theme “Transforming Education in East Africa.”

As a member of RELI-Africa, one of the key conveners of the conference, TAF is joining education partners, practitioners, policymakers and stakeholders from across the region to exchange evidence, share experiences and explore pathways towards meaningful transformation in education.

Today, our Inclusive Education Lead, Mr. Thomas Odeny, contributed to the conversation through a practical session on disability-inclusive and gender-responsive teaching in Kenya.

Tomorrow, Wednesday 26th August, we take the conversation further through two sessions at Bogoria Hall:

Session 1: How Can Inclusive Approaches Support Learning And Equality Outcomes For Girls And All Learners: Building A Framework For Inclusivity, Accountability And Impact

Time: 2:00pm-3:30pm

Session 2: Teacher Sentiments, Attitudes, and Concerns About Inclusive Education

Time: 3:45–5:30 PM

At TAF, we believe that systems change starts with listening, learning and using evidence to inform action. Our longitudinal study provides an opportunity to look beyond individual interventions and understand how disability-inclusive and gender-responsive approaches can contribute to more equitable learning environments over time.

We look forward to sharing our evidence, learning from partners across East Africa, and contributing to a regional conversation on how we can collectively build education systems where every learner can participate, learn and thrive.

A week of action, learning and collaboration.

Last week, we continued bringing essential services closer to communities, strengthening partnerships, equipping educators and creating opportunities for children and youth to learn, grow and thrive.

Here are some of the highlights from across our work:

• 170+ persons with disabilities reached through free rehabilitation outreaches in Bomani and Vipingo, Kilifi.

• Launched the Nurturing the Future (NTF) project to strengthen inclusive early childhood development and parenting support.

• Engaged learners through our STEM Holiday Bootcamp, exploring maths, digital learning, literacy, numeracy and introductory coding.

• Engaged the Kilifi County Government on the implementation of the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Program (DPRP).

• Trained 45 ECDE teachers under NTF on play-based learning, child safeguarding and psychosocial support.

• Convened our Strategic Leadership Team Retreat to reflect, learn and plan for the year ahead.

Each activity contributes to our continued commitment to building inclusive systems and improving the quality of life of children and youth with disabilities.

Impact happens when essential services reach people where they live.

This week, we brought rehabilitation services closer to communities in Kilifi County through two successful outreaches at Bomani Dispensary and Vipingo Rural Demonstration Health Centre.

In partnership with the Kilifi County Government, North Coast Medical Training College, and the Community Health Promotion Fund (CHPF), we reached over 170 persons with disabilities with rehabilitation services, medical disability assessments, linkages to essential services, and support with registration with the National Council for Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), among other services.

But the work doesn’t stop at the outreach. Following the assessments, Individualized Rehabilitation Plans (IRPs) were developed for each person identified, providing a clear pathway to track their progress and connect them to the services and support they need through referrals and linkages.

We appreciate the Kilifi County Government and our partners for their collaboration and support in making these outreaches a success. We look forward to reaching more communities and expanding access to inclusive rehabilitation services across the county.

From Partnership to Systems Change.

Real systems change happens when governments, communities and partners come together to move beyond individual programmes and build stronger, more inclusive systems that work for everyone.

We are proud to have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Murang’a County Government, through the Department of Health, marking an important milestone in the implementation of the Disability Prevention and Rehabilitation Programme (DPRP) in the county.

Murang’a is now the third county to join the DPRP journey, following Kajiado and Kilifi. But this partnership is about more than expanding rehabilitation services. It is about embedding disability prevention, early identification and quality rehabilitation within county health systems, so that children and families can access the right support, earlier and closer to home.

Led by the County Government in partnership with The Action Foundation (TAF), we will work to strengthen access to quality rehabilitation services while advancing disability prevention through integrated approaches including stronger linkages with maternal, newborn and child health services.

We are grateful to the leadership and commitment of the Murang’a County Government as we begin this journey together towards more inclusive, responsive and resilient health and rehabilitation systems where disability inclusion is not an add-on, but an integral part of how the system works.

Today, we launched the International Common Assessment of Numeracy (ICAN) Inclusive Assessment Project, an initiative aimed at making foundational numeracy assessments more accessible and inclusive for children with visual and hearing impairments.

The project is being implemented in Kenya and Pakistan by The Action Foundation, Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA), and Sightsavers, with technical support from the People’s Action for Learning (PAL) Network.

Through the project, we will adapt, test, and validate ICAN to ensure that children with visual and hearing impairments can meaningfully participate in foundational numeracy assessments and that their learning outcomes are better reflected in education data.

We are grateful to our partners and stakeholders for joining us in advancing more inclusive learning assessment systems that leave no child behind.

The African Disability Collaboration (ADC) Summit 2026 in Lilongwe, Malawi, brought together government representatives, Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), civil society organizations, development partners, researchers, and disability practitioners from across Africa to strengthen regional collaboration and advance disability inclusion.

Under the theme, Early Action: A Strong Start to Rehabilitation in Africa, participants exchanged knowledge, explored innovative approaches, and engaged in insightful panel discussions, partner exhibitions, learning visits, and technical sessions. These experiences reinforced the power of collaboration in building inclusive, government-led, and sustainable systems that improve the lives of persons with disabilities across Africa.

The summit also provided an opportunity to connect with the ADC Accelerator 2026 members, fostering peer learning, collaboration, and a shared commitment to driving disability-inclusive development across the continent.

As The Action Foundation, we are honoured to have been part of this continental conversation and to contribute to shaping practical solutions that advance inclusion.
