A Hand Up, Not a Hand Out.

Educating Children

Educating children changes generations.

When a woman has the opportunity to build a sustainable livelihood, her children have a greater opportunity to go to school, learn, and build a different future.

14 students are currently receiving support through our Educating Children program.

Education opens doors

School is not free.

In Kenya, secondary school is not free. School fees, uniforms, books, and, when required, boarding costs can put education out of reach for families living in extreme poverty.

When a child has the opportunity to stay in school, it opens doors to possibilities that might otherwise never exist.

Fifteen students are currently in school through our Educating Children program.
