This article describes the Keep Kenya Learning (KKL) initiative as "helping parents and caregivers build their capacity and confidence to support learning at ho me." It is one of many responses to Covid and is really an important part of making online learning effective. According to the article, parents "can support their children by engaging in one-to-one interactions with them... (and) by being supportive, building their confidence, and encouraging them to focus on the importance of education." I think the need for these sorts of supports is clear, but that they need not only come from parents, but rather, the whole community. This is especially the case for children without parents, but also for children of less privileged socio-economic backgrounds whose parents, for whatever reason, cannot provide this support. And this project demonstrates how to offer support to caregivers and community to enable this.
