WISER

About

Want to get involved in WISER? The WISER Partner School Program provides an opportunity for American students at the elementary, middle and high school level to directly engage a global issue with a personal connection by supporting girls’ scholarships at WISER.

Mission

Our mission is three-fold: educate, empower and excite American students to raise awareness, funds, and enthusiasm to support girls’ education in Muhuru Bay. The Partner Schools program looks to connect American students with students in Muhuru Bay not as a charitable project, but rather as an international exchange of ideas, support, and empowerment. We are looking to partner with a total of 42 schools around the country to provide 70% of students with full scholarships to attend school.

Collaboratory

This webspace is meant to connect all of the WISER Partner Schools around the country into one, online virtual world fostering international collaboration and creativity. We invite you to return to this webspace frequently to stay up-to-date with WISER Partner School news, resources, and opportunities. WISER is now a movement where students are helping students halfway around the world and establishing a community that is active, passionate and committed to improving the quality of education in Muhuru Bay, Kenya.

Video Introduction

WISER Co-Founder Andy Cunningham introduces the Partner School Program through a series of video monologues that guides you through this site. So far, there WISER has presented to 25,000 students. We are excited to begin reaching a new online audience.

WISER has become more than a girls’ boarding school in a rural fishing village in Kenya. Rather, it has become a movement of international education, collaboration, and commitment.
