enthusiasm.
Based on this experience up4change started to deploy newest tablet PCs for educational programs which integrate videos and other rich media content relying on tablet-based eBooks as a learning tool.
eeem.org makes the best use of technological progress and indispensable social skills of people.
It educates barefoot teachers to become multipliers. They will spread mobile multimedia learning approaches to more people and will also document their educational progress.

The eBooks cover a large variety of situations, sceneries and tasks of nomads’ everyday life, such as:

Manyatta – the village
Fora – grazing zone
Market – buying and selling
Town – scratch cards, M-Pesa and buying goods
Animal Health – symptoms, diseases and treatment
Drought Resilience – preparation and protection
Alternative Livelihoods – banking, fish and hay
Celebrations and Conflicts
