About Company
Our mission is to connect youth to proven life-changing information. Zones, our flagship HIV prevention program, addresses the critical need to halt the spread of HIV from older men to young girls. The program encourages youth to safely date age-mates instead of riskier older partners. Zones was inspired by a 1-hour class delivered in government schools in Kenya and shown to reduce unprotected sex and HIV -- also a proxy for unprotected sex and HIV -- by 28% in one year through a randomized control trial. The program is delivered by peer educators in schools and is realistic, simple, scalable, high-impact and backed by rigorous evidence.
In 2017, we expanded our portfolio of programs to incorporate a remedial education program known as Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL). While primary school enrollment rates sit at over 90 percent, Botswana lags behind similar income countries in student learning outcomes. The government of Botswana has identified the need for remedial education programs to ensure all students are reaching their potential. TaRL was pioneered by Pratham in India and has been shown in over six randomized control trials to demonstrate robust impact across contexts and implementation models. The approach evaluates student proficiency using a 1-page assessment tool and then groups students according to their learning level instead of age or grade. Teaching students at ability rather than grade level curriculum is shown to be one of the most cost-effective interventions at improving basic literacy and numeracy.
