GEF Scholarships Make Big Impact in Kenya
Global Education Fund sponsors a scholarship and leadership program serving students from several slum neighborhoods in Nairobi, Kenya. To promote literacy, Global Education Fund also provides books and exam preparation materials as well as library support to learning centers in Kenya.
Your support has helped over 100 scholars stay in school and participate in literacy, leadership and mentorship programs that will help them prepare to be leaders in their communities.
All of Global Education Fund scholars live in extreme poverty and have no ability to pay for tuition. The Kenyan government does not pay for students to attend school after the 8th grade. The opportunity to stay in school instead of dropping out is life changing for our students and you helped make that possible. Not only are they doing well academically but they are also learning practical skills that will enable them to make the world, and particularly Africa, a better place.
Thanks to you, over 100 children from the slums of Nairobi have stayed in school, are getting a quality education, and are excelling academically and personally. And thousands of children and families are able to access books and other literacy materials at learning centers supported by Global Education Fund.
