Copyright Notice

© 2026 Blooming World International - All rights reserved. Unless otherwise credited, the content on blwi.org is the original work of BWI or is used under license, and is protected under Kenyan copyright law and applicable international copyright treaties and conventions.

Because education is our core thematic area, a significant share of that content is instructional and research material developed for teachers, caregivers, learners, researchers, governments and community partners. That purpose is exactly why we set out, below, what others may do with it - rather than leaving reuse to guesswork.

Our mission starts with children - from birth, through the early grades, and into adolescence. Photographs, video, testimonials, and stories featuring programme participants are published only with informed consent from the participant and, for minors, their parent or guardian, and only for the purpose explained at the time consent was given.

This restriction protects the dignity and safety of the children and communities we serve, consistent with our safeguarding commitments, and applies even where the general educational-use permission in Section 4 would otherwise allow reuse. Researchers wishing to use participant-derived imagery in published outputs must coordinate with our research team and Safeguarding Lead in advance.

In keeping with our mission to advance education and open knowledge-sharing, BWI permits limited reuse of our published research, reports, curricula and training materials, provided that:

• The use is non-commercial, and for teaching, research, journalism, or community education purposes
• The material is reproduced accurately, without alteration to its factual or scientific content
• Clear attribution is given to "Blooming World International (blwi.org)", including a link back to the original page where the material is shared online
• The reuse does not suggest that BWI endorses the reusing party or their products, services, or views

This permission does not extend to media covered by Section 3, to assessment tools covered by Section 5, to our trademarks and branding (Section 6), to any content marked as third-party or partner-owned (Section 7), or to bulk redistribution, resale, or republication of substantially all of a work. For any use outside these terms, or for commercial licensing, contact us using the details in Section 10.

A core part of our work is generating and sharing evidence - research publications, learning assessments, and pilot findings. We are committed to open sharing of findings in anonymised or aggregated form, in line with our Privacy Policy and any applicable ethics approvals and funder agreements.

The following clarifications apply specifically to this material:

• Published findings may be freely cited, quoted, and summarised with attribution, provided individual participants are never identifiable from the reuse
• Assessment tools, instruments and frameworks we have developed or adapted may be used by government and non-profit partners for non-commercial educational and research purposes, with attribution and, where applicable, with the terms of the original global tool (such as GSED) respected in parallel
• Underlying de-identified datasets may be made available to researchers on request under a data-sharing agreement, where doing so is consistent with participant consent and applicable ethics approvals
• Redistribution or modification of assessment instruments for commercial purposes requires our prior written consent

Researchers seeking access to de-identified data, or wishing to use our assessment tools in new contexts, should write to legal@blwi.org and, where relevant, coordinate with our research team.

Some material on blwi.org - including donor and partner logos, co-branded research, content contributed by research partners and networks (such as the People's Action for Learning (PAL) Network, the Regional Education Learning Initiative (RELI), or the Africa Early Childhood Network (AfECN)), and locally hosted versions of global tools - is owned by those third parties and displayed with their permission. Such material remains subject to its owner's own rights and is not covered by the permission in Section 4.

Content submitted by users of the Services (for example, a job application or a whistleblowing report) is handled under our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, not this notice.
