Full-cost scholarships
Fees, uniforms, books, transport — every line covered. No family ever loses a child to school because they couldn't make the term's payment.
Education
The compounding power of a classroom.
Every child in our programme is in school. Our education work covers fees, books and uniforms — and goes further: we partner with 240 schools to train teachers, modernise classrooms, and bridge girls back into secondary education after early dropout.

How the programme works on the ground.
Teacher excellence
A 12-month coaching residency for primary teachers in our partner schools, co-designed with the Kenyan Institute of Curriculum Development.
Girls' bridging programme
An intensive 6-month catch-up curriculum that brings out-of-school girls back into formal secondary education — with a 91% retention rate at the 24-month mark.
Field story
"When my father died I left school to work. The bridging programme found me eight months later. Today I'm in my final year of secondary and I tutor three girls in my village."
