PACE (Promoting Access to Community Education) addresses Kenya's challenge of 70000 missing teachers in public schools. PACE recruits and trains volunteers as teaching assistants to increase support for students and teachers. Teaching assistants provide tutoring, grading, and mentoring to improve academic performance and learning experiences. Early results show improved exam scores and extracurricular participation. PACE's revenue model includes donations, grants, corporate partnerships, and peer tutoring to further scale their work of bringing more educational resources to Kenyan communities.
