Shirikisha Jamii – Strengthening Parental Engagement

Shirikisha Jamii is a structured parental engagement program supported by GRiC (Grassroots Nest for Innovation and Change), our key funding partner. The program strengthens the role of parents and caregivers in improving learning outcomes through dialogue, self-awareness, and collaborative school-community engagement.

It is delivered through three core modules:

Module 1: Self-Awareness and Understanding the Child

Helping parents understand their own parenting approaches

Understanding the child’s behavior, emotions, and learning needs

Identifying barriers that hinder effective parental involvement

Supporting learning at home using practical, everyday strategies

Module 2: Using Community and Modern Tools for Learning

Tapping into local community strengths to support education

Promoting basic digital literacy for parents and caregivers

Enhancing financial literacy to improve household support for learning

Module 3: Strengthening Stakeholder Collaboration

Encouraging joint efforts between parents and teachers

Building community support for parental involvement

Equipping school leaders with tools for effective engagement with families

This program helps reposition parents as active participants in their children’s learning, improving both school performance and child wellbeing.
