Education Empowerment for Kenya's Slum Adolescents

HSKAI continues to improve access to education and health for vulnerabe girls and boys in Kenya's informal settings.

Since the beginning of the year, the organization has admitted 35 new beneficiaries to high school, and 15 new beneficiaries admitted to colleges. In addition to learning materials, HKSAI has been able to pay their full tuition fees. This brings our total number of our scholarship beneficiaries to 262. We currently have 30 continuing number of beneficiaries from 2025.

Additionally, we continue to conduct school health outreaches, reaching school girlls and boys with age-appropriate sexually education. We have visited 6 schools and mentored 980 students by the end of May 2026.

We also conducted holiday mentorship programs reaching about 2,724 adolescent girls. Participants also received sanitary products at the end of the sessions.

Leveraging advocacy on International Day Celebrations, HKSAI successfully organized the International Women's Day event in collaboration with her partners creating opportunity for community education and sensitization on the importance of celebrating women and the role they play in our families and communities. The event brought together about 300 participants.

On May 30th 2026, HKSAI successfully organized and executed the Menstrual Health Hygiene Day event reaching about 400 young people and community members. In addition we conducted a mental health session reaching  76 young people with mental haelth education and counselling.

The organization continues its efforts of fundraising. We successfully secured a small grand to implement an "Empowerment in Mortion" project, funds by Hands of Prosperity.

HKSAI has remained strategic in building partnerships with like-minded organizations. Since January, HKSAI has added 20 new partners to its list of collaborators.
