Quality Education For All
Social Rural Development Initiative (SRDI) recognizes education as a foundation for individual empowerment, community resilience, and sustainable development. In vulnerable and underserved communities across Kenya and Somalia, barriers such as poverty, displacement, climate-related shocks, insecurity, and limited access to learning opportunities can prevent children and young people from reaching their full potential. SRDI works to improve access to inclusive and meaningful education while supporting communities to create environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
SRDI’s education interventions focus on supporting children, adolescents, schools, families, and communities to overcome barriers to learning and strengthen educational outcomes. The program also promotes skills development and pathways to vocational training, helping young people acquire knowledge and practical skills that can improve their future livelihood opportunities and contribute to resilient communities.
