WHY YOUR SPONSORSHIP REALLY MATTERS

Imagine being eight years old and wanting to be a teacher, a doctor, or even just to read your favourite storybook, but not having the chance to learn. For too many children in Kenya, this is the reality.

Kenya has made progress in education, with nearly 90% of children enrolling in primary school. But the struggle lies in quality and access. Over 1.2 million Kenyan children are still out of school, and many who attend lack the tools to succeed. In fact, only 42% of Grade 3 students can do basic math, and just 53% can read at their level. Poverty, child labor, and early marriage pull children—especially girls—out of classrooms every day.

Breaking the Cycle

Without education, the cycle of poverty continues. Children without schooling are more likely to remain trapped in hardship. But the reverse is also true: each additional year of schooling can increase a child’s future income by 10%. Educated girls are less likely to marry early and more likely to raise healthier children, impacting generations to come.

The Impact of Your Sponsorship

When you sponsor a child, you’re not just covering fees—you’re removing the barriers that keep them from learning. Your support provides:

• A uniform and school supplies, so they aren’t turned away.

• Nutritious meals, so they can focus in class.

• Consistent attendance, which leads to real learning.

For just $40/month, you can keep a child in school and open the door to a brighter future. Sponsorship transforms a child’s life—but it also strengthens families, communities, and generations.

“Education is not a way to escape poverty, it is a way of fighting it.” – Julius Nyerere
