This program provides secondary school scholarships to high-achieving orphaned and disadvantaged youth in the Nyakongo Zone of Kendu Bay. Its purpose is to give the region's most capable destitute students access to educational opportunity so they may lead the way in their community's future development.

How Our Partnership Makes a Difference

Secondary schools in Kenya are private and most are boarding schools. For rural families living on less than $2/day a high school education is out of reach for even the brightest child. The High School Scholarship program extends a lifeline to students in Kendu Bay, where two-thirds of students eligible to join high school lack the means to pay the required school fees. This KSHP empowerment program serves this population and its most capable students.

The competition for scholarships has ignited the entire educational system. Teachers and schools scramble to qualify their students for the region's only educational bursaries, while students labor to compete for a life-changing chance for an education.

Our High School Scholarship Program is a framework for connecting sponsors with designated students. For students, a partnership opens a door to a future that will be built upon responsibility, commitment and personal effort. For sponsors, the partnership provides the opportunity to make an enduring difference in the world of their adopted student and his or her extended family. Conservatively, one educated Kenyan will support more than 30 related family members.

Our Student Family has grown from three sponsored students in 1998 to 64 students in 2010, including one university student. We invite you to join us in shaping the future of Kendu Bay in this cornerstone of the community's long-term development scheme. Sponsor a Student and change the future of a community. Donate Now.
