What is Schools for Kenya? Schools
for Kenya is an organisation that raises funding for the construction
of new primary and secondary schools for the neediest children in Kenya.
We target communities living in wildlife corridors where human/wildlife
conflict occurs. Schools
for Kenya works in conjunction with the wildlife conservation charity
The Born Free Foundation and our combined efforts result in a twofold
gain. With an education, children will be able to earn a living perhaps
in the tourist industry or in safari parks, or even become teachers or
doctors. This gives the children a real chance of ultimately earning a
living rather than resorting to poaching to survive, thus assisting to
preserve Kenya's most lucrative asset, its wildlife. To learn more about
Born Free go to: www.bornfree.org.uk |
How We Make a Difference Since 2003 Kenyan children have been entitled to eight years of state funded primary education. But not all of them are lucky enough to receive this entitlement. Many children live in poor or remote areas where schools are simply not accessible so they are more often to be found in the bush tending their family's livestock rather than in school being educated. Even if children are lucky enough to receive the primary education to which they are entitled, without the secondary schools, education ceases. So we are working to improve their prospects by building more accessible secondary schools and sponsoring children through the secondary phase. They deserve nothing less. |
