What we do
By working together with communities, we strive to build a stronger, more educated society.
Our Work
How we do it
We believe in fostering a dynamic learning environment that extends beyond the classroom walls. We achieve this through FABE, a whole family intergenerational learning approach. This approach brings together:
A whole family intergenerational learning approach that brings together Early Childhood development, Primary School and Adult Education. Its goal is to develop dynamic intergenerational aspects of learning in families to enable regular engagement of parents and all children in enriched social, emotional, physical and cognitive development activities. Through FABE, we build a family’s readiness to learn and interest in developing knowledge and skills to transform the lives of individual family members, the family as a whole and the wider community
We believe lasting change happens when communities, institutions, government, and development partners work together. LABE collaborates with families, schools, local governments, civil society organisations, media, and national stakeholders to co-create and scale innovative literacy and early learning solutions. Through these partnerships, we strengthen systems, influence policy, and expand access to inclusive, community-driven education opportunities for children, caregivers, and lifelong learners.
LABE promotes self-help approaches that empower communities to take ownership of their learning and development. By building on local strengths, encouraging collective action, and supporting initiatives such as savings groups, community-led learning spaces, and locally made teaching materials, we help communities create solutions that are practical, resilient, and sustainable beyond project support.
We learnt that learning can take place anywhere and is not limited by space and time. So, we facilitate the provision of low-cost, affordable, culturally-appropriate and empowering education to marginalized families and communities through Home Learning Centres. They are located within a homestead and cater for both children and adult learning needs.

We nurture community growth from the inside out using the Asset-Based Community-Driven development (Self-Help) approach. We focus on the half-full glass and teach the community to fish rather than give them the fish to foster community participation and agency in education.
Our Work
What makes us different
We believe in the power of communities to drive their own development. Our unique approach leverages the strengths and resources within communities to create sustainable change. By focusing on asset-based community-driven development and self-help strategies, we empower individuals and families to take ownership of their education and future.
