Facilitators are the key to the success of our program. They are the ones who go from one school to the next, provide support to teachers in using our experiments, and advance peer learning sessions for students. Essentially, they are the heart and soul of our JLIB (Janyaa Lab In a Box) program. If they are motivated…
In partnership with Rotary, we have officially started Janyaa program in Nigeria. Teachers have been trained, and we are very excited! We were told that these teachers are also very enthusiastic about using our experiments. Good to know 🙂

That is why we host peer learning sessions for children to help them practice with the experiments they were taught…
