ART Excel: Empowering Kenyan Children with Lifelong Skills
The ART Excel (All Round Training in Excellence) program equips children aged 8-13 with essential life skills to navigate stress, build confidence, and cultivate emotional well-being.
A 2022 National Adolescent Mental Health Survey in Kenya revealed that over 44% of adolescents aged 10-17 experienced mental health problems, with anxiety being the most prevalent at 26.7%. (REF: APHRC.org) These findings underscore the urgent need for early interventions like ART Excel, which address mental health challenges before they escalate.
By integrating evidence-based techniques, ART Excel fosters mental clarity, self-awareness, and a joyful approach to life.

The impact of the Art Excel programme
“The program has been a blessing to our school. They are so excited to meet the teacher of the program. Through the activities learnt in the program, they are able to express their feeling better at home and school. The parents have felt a tremendous difference in their children. At the end of the day, we want to build a holistic community. Because of the stress children and teachers go through, we are not able to solve the issues in our community. Once these programs are implemented, we can see significant changes happening.”
-Esther Maina, Director, Angaza Buena Vista Academy, Kangemi, Nairobi
“I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to the Art Of Living. The learners learnt basic skills of being happy and rules of coping with anger. They learnt to let go and stretch their hands first to assist. When you win or lose in life, you should celebrate. They also learnt that true success comes from determination and commitment. Learners learnt to relax, learn from their mistakes and forgive and reconcile.” – Catherine, Faculty, Ndurarua Primary School , Dagoretti.
