Tusome!
Let us learn.
Support a child's learning
Strong foundations.
Lasting opportunity.
We work with educators, schools and communities to strengthen the foundations children need to keep learning.
Building the foundations for lifelong learning
Children need more than a place in school. They need the early learning experiences, reading opportunities and responsive teaching that help them build knowledge and confidence.
Early Childhood Education
We work with communities and schools to expand access to play-based early learning for young children.

The learning crisis begins long before an exam.
Children can spend years in school without mastering the skills they need to progress. Understanding what they are learning — and where they need support — is an essential starting point for change.
Read the storyBuild. Embed. Sustain.
Our aim is not to create permanent dependence on Tusome. We work with communities and education partners to establish effective approaches, strengthen local ownership and support their continuation over time.
Build
Establish the foundations: suitable learning spaces, trained educators, appropriate materials and community participation.
Embed
Strengthen practice through coaching, monitoring, parent engagement and collaboration with schools and local education partners.
Sustain
Support schools and communities to take increasing responsibility, with light-touch technical support where it is useful.

Nakalama offers a glimpse of what can happen when educators, schools and communities build the confidence and capacity to sustain early learning together.
Sustainable change means strengthening the people and systems around children — not simply delivering a project.Read the Nakalama story →
