Education Sponsorship Project
Give the Gift of Education
Your monthly sponsorship can change a child’s life forever:
$62.50/month
With $62.50/month, you allow a child to go to high school.
This includes tuition fees, boarding accommodation, meals, uniforms, and school supplies.
$125-200/month
$125-200/month supports a student pursuing a bachelor’s degree.
This covers tuition fees (vary depending on the study subject), a laptop, boarding accommodation, meals, and essential learning materials.
Why Education Sponsorship Matters
In Kenya, a university degree is often the key to securing formal employment. While primary education in Kenya is mostly free, the situation is vastly different for high school and university. High school fees are significant, and quality education often requires boarding schools to provide a focused learning environment free from distractions.
University tuition fees are even higher, with additional costs for accommodation, food, and materials, making it nearly impossible for families in Kibera and many others in Kenya to afford. Sponsorship is crucial to bridge this gap, enabling students to access education, pursue opportunities, and secure a brighter future.
Sadly, only 35-40% of our sponsored students receive continued support from their sponsors beyond high school, leaving them with limited opportunities. By sponsoring a university student, you’re not just funding their education—you’re giving them and their family a path to a better future.
