    Living curriculum: what the network is learning

    Hypha Flywheel

    Medium

    Every project on Hypha is running a live experiment in how people decide, fund, own, and build together. Taken together, that is a curriculum, and it's data the wider world is looking for. The series can draw on it. Each episode explores one theme that matters to everyone, for example: - Becoming investable and de-risking investment (both sides of the table) - Shared ownership and responsibility in teams: voting, tensions, who decides - Funding with trust and transparency - Stewarding the commons without dependency (I would need to understand the commons more) Each episode holds two sides of one equation, so there is diversity in every room. It lands differently for founders, family offices and funders, teams, NGOs, and land and energy projects, so each episode ends with a short round on what it means for each of them, and a path to the Hypha Services team for anyone who wants a solution that fits them. Questions for the group: 1. Which themes do you see the most demand for in your network? 2. Who has lived one of these stories and would share it? 3. Where can/should each theme hand people off: a Services consultation, a space to create/join, or a first proposal to try? Appreciated!

    NEEDS FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOL

    St Barnabas Sofia Junior School

    High· Overdue · 31 Aug 2026

    The school recently made some good progress in terms of infrastructure. This was through the support we received from WILSTAR foundation.  To quickly achieve the self sustainability status, there is need to further improve the school. THE FOLLOWING ARE THE NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL. More piece of land for expansion.  The school currently sits on a 3/4 acre land that was donated by the church. It's important to add at least 2 acre land. The bigger space means that the school will be able to accommodate pre school, lower primary, upper primary, and junior secondary. Cost of purchasing more land is 650000 KES  Electricity installation, computers , Construction of a computer room and equipping it. We don't have any source of light or power. If electricity is connected to the school, learning, teaching and reproduction of documents, running the school will be smooth  Cost of electricity 160000 KES  Computer room ( permanent house)800000 KES  Few computers....500000 KES  Dinning hall. We serve the children good meals. However, after serving them, they sit on the ground to take their meals. This is very risky in that hygiene is very poor. By putting up a dinning hall for them, we will not only boost hygiene and health, but also confirm to the ministry of health standards. Cost of doing the dinning hall is 100000 KES. Water tanks for water storage of water.  The school has tap water which is also shared by the community. By installing the tanks and gutters, water supply will be adequate and reliable  Cost of two tanks and installation is 130000 KES. More text books We have a few books in the school. It's our wish that we get more books and learning materials. Cost of more text books is 70000 KES  TOTAL FUNDS REQUIRED IS 2410000 KES (17214) THANK YOU SO SO MUCH Fore more detailed information, please check the chats below.

    St Barnabas Sofia Junior School

    High· Overdue · 30 Jul 2026

    The school has just requested for funding to bring electricity to the school. For this to help achieve the best outcome, we should have a specific room designed for the digital learning. In addition, our children currently feed outside under the nearby trees. It's necessary to have a dining room where pupils can gather as they take lunch. The total amount required for the two projects is 3000$

    The school had only one latrine that was being shared among the pupils, teaching and non teaching staff, and both females and males. It was therefore necessary to put up a latrine. Through the WILSTAR FOUNDATION funds, we have been able to put up one pit latrine for use by the school.
