In 1998, a core of volunteer leaders in the United States and Kenya joined hands to mobilize like-minded individuals working to improve educational opportunity and family security for children in Kendu Bay, Kenya.
Kenya Self Help Project has identified fundamental areas where assistance from generous and caring donors can make an immediate and long-term impact to reverse the cycles of poverty while promoting self-sufficiency and community participation. We support initiatives for student scholarships, girls social empowerment and water. Programs are implemented by our partner organization, Nyashep Education Trust in Kendu Bay, Nyanza Province.
Kenya Self Help Project is an authorized 501(c)(3) public charity administered by an all-volunteer board of directors in the United States. 100% of every donation is applied directly to program services in Kenya.

From Kendu Bay . . .
February 17, 2012
We have been invited for a Luncheon at Pier-Got Primary. The Headteacher, Mr. Ondaa, organises this event for the KSHP team at least once every term. It is meant to appreciate the good work we do for the school: the Toilet built; the Girl-Child programme that has enabled Pier-Got to eradicate girl-child pregnancy and elevate their performance; the scholarship program, which they have always benefited from every year; and lastly, the Dignity Kit that has reduced the number of monthly ''Sickness'' cases (absence) in girls. We can't wait to get there later in the afternoon. |
