POWERED BY ELIMU LIBRARY

From a school website to an academic powerhouse.

A website puts a school online. Elimu Library is what makes it matter — turning each TSO site into a living hub of CBC-aligned learning, enriched by teachers across the country, and built to sustain itself long after the first year.

The difference Elimu Library makes

The same website, transformed

Most school websites are brochures. A TSO site connected to Elimu Library is a place where teaching and learning actually happen — and it gets richer every term instead of going stale.

A WEBSITE ALONE

An online brochure

  • Static pages that rarely change
  • Contact details and a few photos
  • Nothing for pupils or teachers to use
  • Value fixed on the day it launches
  • A cost the school must justify each year
A WEBSITE + ELIMU LIBRARY

A living academic hub

  • CBC-aligned resources built into the site
  • Schemes of work, notes and materials pupils can use
  • A place teachers contribute to and draw from
  • Content that grows every term, across the country
  • A model designed to fund its own future
What "academic powerhouse" means

Learning, not just presence

Elimu Library has spent years building CBC-aligned academic content for Kenyan schools. The TSO Programme connects each school's own website to that foundation.

CBC-aligned from day one

Each site connects to curriculum-aligned resources mapped to Kenya's CBC — so a school is academically useful the moment it goes live.

A hub pupils and parents use

Beyond a contact page, the site becomes somewhere learning lives — resources pupils can reach, and a window parents can look through.

Richer every term

Because the content is shared and living, each school's site improves as the wider library grows.

The teachers behind it

Every teacher can enrich the library — and be rewarded for it

Kenya's best teaching materials live in the heads and files of its teachers. Elimu Library gives them a place to share that experience — so a great lesson built in one classroom can lift schools across the country, and the teacher behind it is recognised and rewarded.

Teachers contribute

Their own materials

Notes, schemes of work, exams and hard-won classroom experience — the resources they already create, shared into a common pool.

The library grows

Enriched for all schools

Every contribution deepens the shared library — so each school's website draws on the collective expertise of teachers everywhere.

Contributors benefit

Recognised & rewarded

Teachers who contribute are credited and share in the value their work creates — turning good teaching into a lasting, rewarded contribution.

The concept of a school website, for all. A site stops being one school's brochure and becomes a shared national resource — built by teachers, for learners, enriching every participating school at once.

Why it lasts

A practical path to sustainability

The hardest question any sponsor asks is: what happens when the funding stops? Elimu Library is the answer. Because each site creates and shares real academic value, it earns its own keep.

1

A school goes online

Funded for its first year through the TSO cohort.

2

It becomes useful

Connected to the library, the site delivers real academic value.

3

Value flows back

That usefulness sustains the site through a shared-value model.

4

It keeps going

The school stays online beyond year one — no longer dependent on donors.

For a school, the website is not a recurring bill to worry about — it is an asset that carries itself once established.

For a sponsor, it means a gift that keeps working: money given once takes a school online for good, not for a single year — the difference between charity and lasting change.

What each side gains

A model where everyone wins

FOR SCHOOLS

More than a website

A live academic hub that raises the school's standing, serves its pupils, and sustains itself — at no ongoing burden once established.

FOR TEACHERS

A platform and a reward

A national audience for their materials, recognition for their expertise, and a share in the value their contributions create.

FOR SPONSORS

Impact that endures

A contribution that takes a school online permanently — a self-sustaining outcome, not a one-year grant that fades.

The website is the start. The powerhouse is the point.

Elimu Library is what turns a TSO school website into a lasting academic asset — useful on day one, richer every term, and built to sustain itself.
