Welcome to Peter's Blog
All about Peter
I’m a teacher trainer on the Education for Life project in Kenya which helps girls who were forced out of school to complete their education. I support girls to learn Maths, English and Swahili as well as life skills to help them gain confidence.
I’m proud to be a volunteer teacher trainer on the Education for Life project. It was set up to help girls aged 10-19 who were forced out of school to complete their education.
I work in Migori, an area I know well as I grew up in the neighbouring county; it’s very remote and rural, and poverty here is high.
Peter Onani's updates
Building a brighter future as a volunteer
Heri ya Krismasi! I hope you’re having a fantastic Christmas and enjoying the festivities! Just like in the UK, Christmas here is a time for celebration. People travel to be with their friends and family on Christmas day and enjoy a big meal together.
Clementia, Nora and the seeds of change
Heri ya mwaka mpya (that’s happy new year in Swahili)! I hope you are keeping safe and have had a good start to 2021. I'm delighted to update you again about the Education for Life project and how we’re supporting vulnerable young girls in Kenya to have a brighter future.
