Education

Informal Education and Development

We firmly believe that education does not stop outside the school door. Informal education and training ensure that learning continues at all ages and beyond the classroom.

Skills and Training

boMake facilitates skills training through partnerships for improved livelihoods across families. Sessions have covered subjects as diverse as financial literacy and business skills, running a community library, making reusable pads and the manufacture of bricks or fencing.

Peer Educators

Through our Safe Sisters project we trained 44 Gone Rural artisans to offer grief counselling, sexual and reproductive health advice and abuse counselling in their communities. In future, we hope to conduct refresher training for existing peer educators and recruit and train more.

Student Support

boMake’s bursary recipients We offer after-school tuition in English for our SFBF beneficiaries in two schools. English is the language of instruction but a second language for most students, so these extra lessons will boost their academic performance.
