In low-resourced communities, children are in school but not learning—because teachers often lack the support and tools they need to teach effectively. We partner with educators to build meaningful learning environments that empower the next generation.
Effective Teaching
Dignitas equips educators with the tools and confidence to lead effective learning.
Effective Instructional Leadership
We support instructional leaders to strengthen teaching practices and learner success.
Effective Management
We strengthen school leadership and culture to create thriving learning environments.
Our Reach
“When school leaders are empowered, they unlock the potential of every child – and transform entire communities.”
Over the years, we have worked across Kenya’s low-resourced communities in 17 counties and in South Sudan.

Our Model for Sustainable Change
We believe school leadership teams have the potential to drive positive learning and well-being gains for learners, therefore investing in the education workforce is investing in children. Ensuring the right support and development opportunities for every school leader and teacher will ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.
By ensuring a focus on the often under-utilized lever of school leadership, Dignitas ensures school transformation not only targets learning and well-being gains, but is sustainable and supported for the longer term.
We know from educational research that school leaders have a very important effect on educational outcomes and the influence of quality school leadership on student achievement is stronger in adverse circumstances. We also know that investing in school leaders is one of the more cost-effective ways of improving educational outcomes.
Dignitas is committed to bridging the development gap for school leaders, collaborating with governments and shaping systems to ensure lasting impact and success for every child.
