To Know Thy Self

ReclaimingAfrican Excellence

We don't just educate children—we awaken the genius that colonialism tried to bury. Through Afrocentric, trauma-informed learning, we restore what was always ours: the right to think, create, and lead from our own cultural foundation.

🌍

Afrocentric Foundation

Learning through our cultural lens, not despite it

❤️

Trauma-Informed Care

Healing while learning, growing while belonging

🚀

Innovation Through Ubuntu

Technology that serves community, not self

The Jasiri Philosophy

Education as liberation. Learning as healing. Growth as reclamation of our rightful place in the world.

Inventive Thinking

We don't teach children to memorize answers—we teach them to ask the questions that change the world.

Ubuntu Values

"I am because we are"—every achievement lifts the community, every innovation serves the collective.

Trauma-Informed

We understand that healing and learning happen together—safety first, then soaring.

Growth Mindset

Challenges are not obstacles—they are invitations to discover what we're truly capable of.

Our Vision

To drive Africa's transformation by cultivating the ingenuity of African children through education that honors who they are, heals what was broken, and unleashes what was always possible.

"When our children rise, Africa rises. When Africa rises, the world transforms."

How We Actually Learn

Not through textbooks and tests, but through being, doing, creating, and connecting.

Learning by Being & Doing

We reject the colonial model that treats children like empty vessels to be filled. Instead, we recognize that every child arrives with genius already inside them—our job is to create conditions for that genius to flourish.

Through mindful, relationship-based instruction and immersive, nature-connected experiences, children don't just learn about the world—they engage with it, shape it, and find their place within it.

The Jasiri Difference

  • Projects emerge from children's curiosity, not curriculum mandates
  • Learning happens in community, not isolation
  • Success is measured by growth, not grades
  • Every lesson connects to real-world impact

Project-Based Learning Excellence

Where curiosity meets methodology, and young minds tackle real-world challenges through guided discovery

The Mt. Kenya Water Tower Project

When our students asked about their future in an ever-changing world, our facilitators designed an integrated learning experience that would illuminate solutions to the pervasive challenge of climate change.

The Mt. Kenya Water Tower sustains approximately 12 million Kenyans through agriculture, tourism, hydroelectricity, industry, and healthcare. However, population growth, forest encroachment, and unregulated waste management threaten this crucial ecosystem.

Integrated Learning Methodology

Our facilitators guided students through an integrated approach weaving together science, geography, history, sociology, arts, and crafts to understand and model solutions for water tower preservation.

Students researched the ecological and economic impact on 12 million Kenyans
Built physical models demonstrating sustainable urban planning solutions
Developed comprehensive understanding of environmental stewardship
Student-created comprehensive 3D model showing sustainable urban development solutions for Mt. Kenya Water Tower preservation, demonstrating integrated learning across multiple subjects
Critical Thinking

Problem Analysis & Solution Design

Students analyzed complex environmental challenges affecting millions, developing comprehensive understanding of cause-and-effect relationships in ecological systems.

Creative Expression

Hands-On Model Construction

Through physical model building, students translated abstract concepts into tangible solutions, demonstrating mastery through creative construction and design.

Social Impact

Community-Centered Solutions

Students connected their learning to real-world impact, understanding how their solutions could benefit 12 million Kenyans and preserve crucial ecosystems.

🌍Learning from the Earth

Our ancestors taught us that we don't inherit the Earth from our parents—we borrow it from our children

Every lesson carries this sacred responsibility to care for tomorrow.
