Challenge

Across Kenya, poverty and unstable household incomes continue to limit children's access to quality education. An estimated 80% of children in some underserved communities face barriers to quality education, while many vulnerable families struggle to survive on less than $1 a day. These financial challenges increase school dropout risks, exposing learners to substance abuse, early pregnancy, and limited economic opportunities, perpetuating cycles of poverty.

Solution

We believe education is key to breaking the cycle of poverty and creating lasting opportunities for vulnerable learners across Kenya. Our project seeks to reintegrate out-of-school children into formal education while supporting those at risk of dropping out. Through scholarships, essential learning materials, mentorship, life skills development, and psychosocial support, we aim to help learners stay in school, complete their education, and build brighter futures.

Long-Term Impact

This project will provide 1,000 vulnerable learners across Kenya with the opportunity to return to school, continue their education, and build brighter futures. Through scholarships, learning materials, mentorship, and life skills support, we aim to improve school retention, reduce dropout rates, and break the cycle of poverty. Our long-term vision is to establish a vocational training centre that will equip young people with practical skills and create pathways to sustainable employment.
