Transform a Life Through Education
Imagine a world where every child has the chance to learn. In Kenya, this dream is still far from reality as 60% of families can't afford secondary school fees. With your help, we can make a difference for children eager to learn.
For girls like Silvia & Bridget, education is life-changing. It shields them from early marriage, teenage pregnancy, and gender-based violence, empowering them to contribute to society with confidence and resilience.

At Kenya Education Fund(KEF), your donation goes beyond school fees. It covers essential items like sanitary pads, uniforms, shoes, and learning materials, making it possible for students to focus on their studies without worry.
Education for boys like Sawa protects them from child labor, gender-based violence, crime, and cattle rustling, breaking the cycle of poverty and opening doors to a brighter future.
WHY EDUCATION
The Power of Education
In Kenya, high school is not free. Over 3.5 million children are not in school due to poverty, drought, lack of accessibility and cultural practices. WE ARE ON A MISSION TO GIVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION AND KEEP THESE STUDENTS IN SCHOOL. By providing Kenyan youth with access to quality education, Kenya Education Fund tackles one of the root causes of poverty, gender-based violence, and injustice. We support students who are financially underprivileged, many of whom will not go to school without financial support, successfully transitioning 98% of them from high school to university. KEF serves all people; regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender.
