The work

Programs

Ongoing, upcoming, and past. Three fields of work, and the particular programs inside them.

Status

Ongoing

Open now. Each has a weekday, a host, and a page of its own.

Open classrooms

Accra, Lagos, and three smaller towns. A teacher, a timetable, and a classroom that is still there the week after a student misses one.

The weekly table

Four city kitchens. The same afternoon, the same kitchen. A meal and a conversation a person can expect.

03CommunityOngoing
Shared halls

Halls used by more than one program. Halls, routines, and trust: the shared life that lets the other work last.

Status

Upcoming

Promised, and not yet begun. The funds are seeds. The start dates stay unpublished until the wages are real.

Night school

Nairobi, opening with the next term. Evening classes for adults whose days are already spoken for.

Library routes

Along two existing bus lines. Books that travel on routes people already use, instead of waiting for a new building.

Status

Past

Finished on purpose. Listed so an ending can be read, and so the living work can be found from it.

First rooms

Twelve classrooms, finished in 2024. The build that gave Open classrooms their first permanent rooms. The build is finished.

Winter kitchens

One city, one winter. A seasonal kitchen that ran its course and taught the weekly table how to last.
