Hybrid Education Centre

Hybrid Education Overview

We provide flexible digital and in-school learning support to children and youth across Nairobi, Murang’a, Kiambu, Nakuru, Machakos, and Mombasa. Our hybrid model combines technology access, community-based tutoring, skills development, and school support, ensuring that every learner can access quality education.

Through online modules, mentorship, practical fieldwork, and structured study sessions, students gain knowledge, confidence, and digital literacy to succeed in the 21st century.

Why Hybrid Learning?

Kenya faces large education gaps: overcrowded classrooms, limited digital access in rural and peri-urban areas, high cost of online learning, and lack of after-school support. Hybrid education bridges these gaps by combining:

Digital lessons accessible online and offline
Community learning hubs and study centers
School-based tutoring and mentorship
Home-based support through worksheets and mobile tutors
Skill development in ICT, entrepreneurship, and STEM
