Digital skills and financial management courses for parents in Nairobi

Sister Emma, Director of St Martin’s School, receives Big Box

St Martins School is an education charity in Nairobi, Kenya. Their mission is to educate as many children as possible and provide them with a safe environment where they can play, learn and receive regular meals.

The school, which already has over 700 primary school students and nearly 300 high school students, has expanded their work to at-risk and vulnerable parents in the community - with a strong emphasis on women - to try and break the poverty cycle. 

They do this by running courses in financial management, nutrition and positive parenting for the parents.

In February 2020, we sent out a Big Box to St Martin’s School so they could delivery courses in digital literacy, marketing and entrepreneurship. Eventually, Big Box will act as a platform for the parents to launch businesses using the skills they've learned.
