Hope for Girls in marginalised communities - Ilbissil Girls SchoolAt the foot of Ilbissil Mountain in the rural Maasai area of Kajiado County, Kenya, lies Ilbissil Girls School—a beacon of hope for girls in one of the most marginalised communities in the country. In a region where early marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) are prevalent, girls face immense challenges in pursuing and remaining in education. Many are forced to drop out of school, with their futures limited by traditional socio-cultural practices.However, since the Dell Technologies STEM STEPS Project was introduced in 2021, the landscape at Ilbissil Girls School has started to change dramatically. This initiative has provided the school with much-needed digital tools, resources, and teacher training, transforming the way education is delivered. As a result, Computer Studies has become one of the top-performing subjects in the school, with an impressive mean score of 7.80 in the 2023 Kenya National Examinations—far above the overall school average of 3.69.This progress is not just a statistic; it’s a symbol of hope and a testament to the power of educational technology in breaking down barriers and creating new opportunities, even in the most remote and underserved areas. The project is helping to dismantle the long-standing gender stereotypes and systemic barriers that have historically hindered girls’ access to quality education.Salma Mohammed, a student at Ilbissil Girls, reflects on the impact: "I joined this school as a computer-illiterate learner, like many others at this level. But today, I am proud of the strides I’ve made. Thanks to Camara Education and Dell Technologies, our school is equipped with computers, and we no longer have to crowd around a single terminal. The fun learning environment and the increasing number of students choosing Computer Studies speak volumes about the impact of this project and the lives it has transformed."This story from Ilbissil Girls School highlights the critical role of digital education in empowering girls and helping them overcome traditional barriers to education. It’s a powerful reminder that with the right support and infrastructure, educational technology can inspire change and significantly improve educational outcomes, even in the most challenging environments.#STEMEducation #GirlsInSTEM #DigitalInclusion #EducationForAll #HopeForGirls #CamaraEducation #DellTechnologies ...

Enhancing TVET Education at Kathonzweni CTTI, KenyaIn a rapidly changing global landscape, the importance of STEM education and technical skills cannot be overstated. With Africa’s youth population set to double by 2050, millions of young people will soon enter the job market. Equipping them with the right skills is crucial to unlocking their potential and driving sustainable development across the continent. The Kenyan government, in alignment with Vision 2030, recognises this urgency and has made significant strides in supporting Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) institutions to prepare an industry-ready workforce.At Kathonzweni County Technical Training Institute (CTTI) in Makueni County, we are witnessing a remarkable transformation. With the invaluable support of Dell Technologies students—many from backgrounds with limited access to technology—are stepping into a new era of learning. By embracing cutting-edge technology, these students are not only acquiring knowledge but are also gaining the confidence to think critically, solve problems creatively, and take control of their futures.This initiative is empowering students to engage with new subjects like coding, graphic design, and digital entrepreneurship, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving job market. The impact goes beyond academic achievement; it is about building a skilled, resilient workforce ready to meet the demands of the future. This is the power of education when paired with the right resources—a significant step forward as we align with Kenya’s Vision 2030. #KenyaVision2030 #CamaraEducation #EducationForAll #STEM #YouthEmpowerment #InspiringFutures #TechForGood #EmpoweringYouth #STEMEducation ...
