Our Team
Most of our Kenyan team members have been with us from the very beginning of the project which was founded in 2006 by Anno's Africa and later on was joined by One Fine Day e.V. founded in 2008.
During these years of working together, our Kenyan teachers team has always been highly motivated and teaching with great passion. Thanks to their excellent work, the project gained the trust of the children, their parents and the teachers of our partner schools.
