Mentors raise approximately £300.00 towards the costs of a computer and internet access for the computer lab in Huruma.
Two or three times a week via Skype, our mentors set the kids challenging questions which encourage them to explore the Internet to find answers.
EDCLUB Movement gives disadvantaged kids the chance to access a better future through self-education and encouragement.
As well as being a fantastic and enjoyable experience, this is an opportunity to show responsibility, compassion and reliability, while helping others in situations hugely different from your own.
This is a fun initiative that your students will enjoy. Help spread the EDCLUB model to increase the impact and really make a difference.

Advantaged SchoolsA network of EDCLUB mentors shares experiences, develops ideas for expanding the movement, and raises funds. Led by a committee of Marlborough College students since 2013 EDCLUB Movement has expanded rapidly from its origins of one mentor Skyping four kids in a slum in Kenya. It now has links to both advantaged and disadvantaged kids in a range of countries (Kenya, UK, India, Netherlands, Malawi).
The concept behind the EDCLUB technique is radical. TED Talk Prize winner Prof. Sugata Mitra pioneered the idea that with almost all knowledge now accessible in some form on the internet, kids just need to be given the tools to discover it. The mentors’ role is to encourage and challenge the kids rather than to teach them.
