Armoede. Eenzaamheid. Problemen thuis. Honderdduizenden kinderen worstelen elke dag met deze problemen. Zij hebben geen veilige plek, krijgen geen steun in hun omgeving of missen de sociaal-emotionele vaardigheden om met hun situatie om te gaan. In hun leven ontbreekt een goede basis om veerkrachtig te zijn. Terwijl geen kind zonder kan – op school, thuis, overal! Want veerkracht is als een superkracht in je hoofd en je hart die je helpt in moeilijke situaties. Laat deze kinderen niet in de steek. Geef ze de basis om veerkrachtig te kunnen zijn. Ieder kind verdient superkracht. Geef en help een kind.

Stitching Understanding & Development (SUED Org) is a community based Organization operating in Gilgil with projects in 16 rural schools of Nakuru, Kericho and Bomet counties. SUED actively participates in preparing a generation of young people that appreciates high moral values as a way of life. SUED takes the lead as a pillar in implementing UN Goals SDG 4 to transforming communities through books, value based education, capacity building, and climate change mitigation. The organization derives from the recognition that many children in the rural areas have limited access to books. Hardly does one find a child that has a book that is not for mainstream curriculum, but to read and expand their knowledge. Even among educated Kenyans the habit of reading barely exists so gaining knowledge after education ceases. Acquiring the reading habit will encourage children to continue educating themselves after school. With partnerships SUED empowers school leaders, parents and teachers to deliver great learning outcomes and to enable children to acquire an education that prepares them to be contributing global citizens. SUED works with a holistic approach, where the whole child and his/her development is at the center of all our activities.
