Promoting Access to Community Education
WE HELP THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN TO GET THEIR EDUCATION Following the MDG meeting of the year 2000, there has been phenomenal progress in achieving the target of universal primary education. The total enrollment rate in developing countries reached 91% in 2015, and the global number of children out of school has dropped by about 50%. There has also been a dramatic increase in literacy rates, and many more girls are in school than ever before. These are all remarkable successes. However, this progress has continued to face immense challenges in developing regions due to high levels of poverty, armed conflicts and other emergencies. For this reason, PACEmaker International is committed to improving the quality of education in under-served schools by leveraging the power of volunteering.

About PACEmaker
Founded in 2013, PACEmaker International (PACE) is a Kenya registered Non-
Governmental Organization (NGO) that works to create equitable learning
opportunities for students in rural and slum areas of Africa. PACE is an
acronym for Promoting Access to Community Education.
Our programmes are designed to break the barriers to quality education that
disproportionately affect learners in slums, informal settlements, and rural
schools.
We work to simultaneously address two challenges that face our
community;
Lack of a meaningful social structure to engage local youth and The inequity in Africa’s education system.
PACE envisions an Africa where access to high-quality education is the norm
for all children and where youth are empowered and engaged to lead change
in their local communities.
We Train. We Engage. We Upskill
Our Vision & Mission
Our Vision
Quality education for all children in underserved communities and youth-led change in Africa.
Our Mission
Enable quality education for children in underserved communities through trained volunteers, qualified teachers, engaged parents and inspires youth-led change in Africa.
Core Values
Passion. Integrity. Volunteerism. Collaboration
The Challenge
Kenya requires over 100,000 more teachers to fully meet the educational needs of its 13 million enrolled students in primary and secondary schools. As of 2021, primary schools in Kenya had a deficit of 46,000 teachers. While the recommended pupil to teacher ratio is 40:1, the current national average ratio is 56:1 in public primary schools. Schools in rural and slum areas are disproportionately affected by this shortage.
The Opportunity
Each year, approximately 600,000 bright, young Kenyans graduate from high school. The majority go on a 9-month gap year before joining public universities. PACE targets these youth together with long-holiday university students to unlock their potential. By effectively engaging these young people, we will unleash 216 million hours of learning support for students in underserved schools.
