Children’s Empowerment
Every child with epilepsy belongs in school
Safe classrooms, informed teachers and kind classmates help children with epilepsy learn, play and thrive.
School awareness
Helping teachers and school staff recognise seizures, give calm first aid and agree a simple seizure plan with families.
Inclusion
Making sure learners with epilepsy take part fully in lessons, sport and trips, with sensible safety steps — not exclusion.
Peer support and anti-bullying
Teaching classmates that epilepsy is not contagious, and encouraging kindness and friendship.
Child-friendly resources
Simple, positive materials in English and Kiswahili that explain epilepsy for children and young people.
Empowerment activities
Activities that build confidence and remind children that their dreams are still valid.

Contact us about schoolsSafeguarding and consent
- We never publish photos, videos, names or stories of children without informed, written consent from a parent or guardian — and the child’s agreement where they are old enough.
- We use first names only or changed names, and no identifying details, when sharing examples.
- Volunteers and staff working with children are expected to follow TEA’s safeguarding procedures.
- Activities with children take place with school staff, parents or guardians present.
To raise a concern about a child’s safety or welfare, contact TEA by phone or email and mark it “Safeguarding”. If a child is in immediate danger, call 999 or 112, or the national child helpline 116.
