A range of teaching materials, based upon the show, have been created to help teachers who face the challenge of embedding global learning across the curriculum. Classroom activities include viewing genuine extracts from the soap opera, which help engage young people with global issues; discovering similarities, challenging stereotypes and raising awareness.

The site also has an extremely useful area giving valuable information about Kenya itself.
