From Harambee to One Big Change Kenya

The journey of an idea: a Kenyan principle, a UK education career, and a framework coming home.

  1. Kenya

    Born from Harambee

    The principle of pulling together, a Kenyan tradition of shared responsibility, shapes everything that follows.

  2. Education career

    Yvonne's path

    Yvonne Buluma-Samba, a Kenyan educator and economist, builds practical school improvement experience over ten years in UK education.

  3. The UK

    LocaeRise begins

    LocaeRise is founded on the belief that schools should not solve difficult challenges alone, and that local capability must come before dependency.

  4. Trials

    UK development

    Tools, the Change Lens and the Hub model are developed and tested with schools, experts and universities.

  5. Expertise

    The OBC Expert Programme

    A network of practitioners and experts forms around structured, evidence-informed implementation support.

  6. Coming home

    One Big Change Kenya

    The framework returns to Kenya, Kenyan-led, to help turn national education priorities into consistent practice.

Kenya has designed the change.

One Big Change helps schools deliver it, together.
