The Java Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of Java House and Craft Silicon Foundation, a corporate social responsibility arm of Craft Silicon Ltd – have launched a strategic partnership which will see the two foundations collaborate to support communities through school feeding and digital literacy initiatives.
The partnership, formalised through a newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), will see the two foundations collaborate to improve educational outcomes by addressing challenges in school nutrition and technological education.
Speaking during the signing ceremony, Priscilla Gathungu, the Java House Group CEO, highlighted the impact of this partnership: “We know that the ability to learn starts with a full stomach. This partnership is about fuelling children’s potential. By working with Craft Silicon Foundation, we’re ensuring that learners receive both the nourishment and the digital skills they need to thrive in today’s world.”
The partnership will see Java Foundation provide daily meals to students enrolled in Craft Silicon Foundation’s ICT training programs, creating an enabling environment for effective learning.
In return, the Craft Silicon Foundation will bring its solar-powered mobile computer lab and ICT curriculum to schools already supported by the Java Foundation’s feeding program, starting with Gatina and Ngunyumu Primary Schools in Nairobi.
