Case Study: Thrive for Good scales global impact with Thinkific

How A Canadian Nonprofit Uses Online Learning To Scale Their Impact

Thrive for Good, a Canadian nonprofit that helps vulnerable communities grow nutrient-dense food, faced a major challenge when the pandemic shut down its in-person training model in Kenya. With only one full-time staff member and a program built around group classes and travel across East Africa, the organization needed a way to keep teaching without losing its impact. Thrive for Good turned to Thinkific’s Pro Plan to move its education online.

With Thinkific, Thrive for Good transformed its classroom-based curriculum into digital courses, adding videos, PDFs, worksheets, quizzes, and assignments to create the Thrive Institute. The nonprofit also translated content into Spanish, brought in local content creators to adapt lessons for different regions, and formed partnerships to train other organizations’ volunteers. As a result, Thrive for Good scaled from 1 course to 4 in 1.5 years and expanded from East Africa to learners in over 50 countries, greatly increasing its global reach and impact.
