Expansion of the school mentorship programme, Niger, 2021-2023
RAIN has been working on sustainable water and food systems, women's economic development and education in the Agadez region of Niger for nearly 20 years. The organisation has a local team with fourteen members from the region. Turing supported a RAIN female mentorship programme from 2017-2019 in which more children, especially girls, in 22 villages stayed at school and progressed to further education. The results have been positive. A total of 96% passed their primary school exams; this is more than three times the national rate. Female enrolment for secondary schools increased by an impressive 62%. The mentors have started savings and loan groups with other women which are now operating well and independently. The women have gained income and prestige in their community. They will continue fulfilling their role as mentors after the project period. This project is expanding this successful mentorship programme, after much local demand, to 19 new villages in the Agadez region. The Turing Foundation is contributing € 60,000 towards this project (of which, € 20,000 in 2023).

Local leaders to strengthen the education sector, Liberia, 2020-2022
Teach for All is a network organisation with partners in 56 countries. The organisation has developed a model supported by data that aims to achieve more and better leadership in a country to improve the educational situation. Its partner, Teach for Liberia, wants to improve educational opportunities for children in Liberia by selecting promising young talent, training them and getting them to teach a primary school class for two years. All of them are stimulated to develop their leadership skills by taking an active role in the community, participating in local learning circles, and strengthening other teachers' capacity. A network of graduates and other community leaders also stimulates collaboration to achieve structural improvement. The Turing Foundation is contributing €44,000 (of which €22,000 in 2022) to develop a group of eight young people as strong leaders in two years.

Growing small businesses through apprenticeship training, Pujehun, Sierra Leone, 2020-2022
Action on Poverty UK stimulates employment opportunities for disadvantaged groups in five countries, including Sierra Leone. Turing has previously supported two of their programmes in the country. This project supplements a larger programme strengthening nineteen Community Based Organisations (CBOs) in the disadvantaged district of Pujehun so that members are better able to improve the lives of residents in their community. Among other things, they learn how they can help 38 craftsmen to transfer their skills to young people. CBO members are also taught to train 380 young people in entrepreneurship and literacy. The CBOs are given a rotating fund to manage, which provides loans to graduates to start new businesses or grow existing businesses. Experience from previous programmes shows that this kind of intervention gives a good and lasting boost to villagers' activities and self-reliance. The Turing Foundation is contributing € 50,000 towards this project.

Teacher Training, Kenia en Tanzania, 2010-2011
In Kenya and Tanzania, Terre des Hommes is working with local partners to improve the quality of secondary education at government schools. Teachers are being trained in modern teaching methods, exam methods and the subjects mathematics, geography, chemistry and English. In Kenya 100 teachers will be trained over a period of 4 years, starting with two-day modules throughout the year that are repeated and elaborated on every year. In Tanzania, 40 teachers will be trained every year during a three-week summer course. The Turing Foundation is contributing € 27,000 to the project. Update july 2011: The project's outcome has been disappointing. In Mara, Tanzania for example, only 20 teachers have been trained instead of 40, and teacher training in Turkana, Kenya were given by local teachers instead of professionals from Nairobi. As a result, the costs have turned out to be lower than was previously expected, so our donation has been lowered from € 27,000 to € 11,284.

Etablissement Gabriel Taborin is located in Nyonko, a suburb of the capital Ouagadougou. Among other things, four additional classrooms are being built there. The Centre Formation Professionelle is located in the town of Fada N'Gourma in eastern Burkina Faso. One of the projects here is to renovate the wiring. Both schools are also being offered teacher training and management consultancy programmes. By contributing €50,000 the Turing Foundation will finance one half of the project costs.
