 Prior to this PhD I was working with various non-governmental organizations in Kenya and I was working in underprivileged communities in the slums of Nairobi and in northeast in Kenya. So throughout this whole experience what I noticed was these underprivileged communities did not have access to quality education and in some areas they you know they it was even worse because they did not have access to quality education and the teachers had moved out because of insecurity. So I started thinking about what other alternative options are out there that could help complement their schooling experiences. My research is about an independent educational technology initiative that has been set up by a UK based organization in Uganda and I am looking at the impact it has had on local communities where it's been set up in underprivileged communities. In 2016 I went and did my research in India with Professor Sugata Mitra on the self-organized learning environment and the findings that I got from that were really inspiring because young people were using this initiative. It's very similar to to what I'm researching right now but he calls them the school in the cloud so he he got a grant from Ted and he set up this you know open spaces computers that are placed in you know glass buildings in different places and the findings were really inspiring and how young people were using it and this is how I got interested in it. What I hope to achieve is to make a contribution towards education in East Africa and my findings I'm hoping will be able to help various organizations that are setting up initiatives within the same context and similar context to you know consider the various contextual factors before setting up such initiatives.
