The Akanksha Foundation

For over 28 years, Akanksha has educated children from low-income communities across Mumbai and Pune in India. They currently operate 21 government schools in a partnership model impacting 9,000+ children.

Kizazi has been working with Akanksha since 2019. We launched our partnership by supporting them to clarify their desired learning outcomes in alignment with the organizational vision. Beginning 2020, we are supporting them to develop, implement and codify an early-years (K-2) program across the network. We are building the capacity of central and school teams to design curriculum, pedagogy, and systems to ensure outstanding outcomes across all areas of early childhood development.

Simple Education Foundation

Simple Education Foundation (SEF) is a not-for-profit organization based out of Delhi. SEF implements a ‘Whole School Transformation’ model to empower all key stakeholders to lead the change for their school communities. Under this model, SEF operates four government partnership schools in Delhi impacting 1,000+ children from low-income backgrounds.

Kizazi began supporting SEF in 2019 to build their capacity in four key areas – defining student vision & outcomes, design and codification of the simple school model, developing systems for evaluation of holistic outcomes, and defining the organization’s growth strategy. Having supported the SEF team in 2019 to articulate and institutionalize their purpose of education, student vision, and outcomes, we are now continuing to partner to develop, implement and codify simple school practices to transform learning outcomes across all their schools and grades.

Seroond Schools

Teach For Armenia (TFA) in collaboration with Kizazi is setting up Seroond Schools, a one of its kind project in Armenia to operate a government partnership innovation school and develop breakthrough solutions for the nation. Kizazi is working with the Seroond team to build their capacity to develop, implement and scale their school model.

The project will be launched by partnering with the Tavush government and operating one government school in the province under the partnership model starting September 2020. Tavush, being a border state, has a complex history of conflict which has had an adverse impact on all aspects of the society resulting in children experiencing socio-emotional distress and attaining lower learning levels. Seroond is hence developing a school model which enables children to thrive across all areas of their life. In subsequent years Seroond intends to partner with other regional governments and the central government to scale their model and learnings.

Eke Schools

Kizazi is supporting a group of passionate educators, formerly teachers at Teach For Ghana, to setup a new school network organization, Eke Schools. Eke has set a strong ambitious vision to develop and launch a breakthrough school model to make education engaging and practical to enable the youth to actively build the Ghanian society.

In the early few months of the setup, we helped Eke to build a founding team and articulate its vision and purpose. As we support the design of their school model, we are also supporting them to launch their first school in the academic year of 2020.
