Kenyan Education Fund (KEF) Empowers 161 New Scholars to Break the Chains of Poverty through Education
In a significant stride towards the barriers that keep millions of Kenyan children out of high school, Kenyan Education Fund (KEF) is delighted to announce the enrollment of 161 new students into its life-changing scholarship program.
For the past 19 years, KEF has been unwavering in its commitment to providing access to quality education for financially underprivileged youth, addressing the root causes of poverty, gender-based violence, and injustice. With 600 active students, the organization is taking a giant leap this January by extending full high school scholarships to a new cohort, covering four years of high school and one year of college bringing the total of active students to 761.
Each of the 161 students will receive comprehensive support to ensure their academic success and holistic development. The scholarship package includes: School Tuition, Room & Board, Uniform & Shoes, Textbooks, Scientific Calculator, Sanitary Pads, Exam Fees and Participation in KEF Workshops.
This scholarship goes beyond mere financial assistance; it is a beacon of hope for those who may otherwise be unable to pursue their education due to poverty, drought, lack of accessibility, or cultural practices. KEF successfully transitions 99% of it’s students from high school to university, which is actively breaking the cycle of poverty and fostering self-reliance.
“Education is not just a ticket to a better life for these students; it is a catalyst for positive change within their communities.” said Monsheila, a representative of KEF
Over the years, KEF has empowered over 4,000 students, the majority of whom are now self-reliant contributors to their communities. The organization’s impact resonates in the success stories of individuals who have overcome adversity, turning dreams into reality through education.
As KEF continues to champion the cause of education for all, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender, the organization invites fellow Kenyans to join the work by supporting under privilleged children around them. Together, we can create a more inclusive and empowered society through the gift of education.
