Summary

Thousands of families in Kenya struggle to meet basic needs and provide quality education for children. 10% of students who enrol in secondary schools drop out before completing the high cycle. This means that opportunities for these semi-literate children are severely limited. This project is helping boost the education of 60 children by providing needed resources and promote access to reading materials and help students gain essential life skills.

Challenge

Drop out in education is a big loss to individuals and societies in Kenya. Dropouts may be due to several factors including; high level of poverty and high cost of education. Thousands of youth and young women struggle to find a meaningful existence and without education, they are caught in a vicious cycle of powerlessness and poverty, with many unfortunately turning to a lifestyle of vices and destructive occupations. They desperately need opportunities and a viable path to self-sufficiency.

Solution

This project brings hope and boosts education of 60 students from needy families through provision of tuition and learning resources. This will enhance learning, boost attendance and ensure they complete schooling with high level of literacy and core skills, enabling them to succeed in life.

Long-Term Impact

We are helping to transform communities and the entire nation. The project will raise the literacy level of children.
