Education
The right to education is a fundamental human right recognized globally, essentially for empowering
individuals and enabling social and economic development. The Constitution of Kenya 2010, article
53 (b) guarantees the right to free and compulsory basic education. In addition, Article 26 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights declares that Education is an inalienable human right. All children regardless of their background, have a right to quality education.

Although access to education has improved significantly in Kenya especially after the introduction of the
free primary education in 2003, numerous challenges still hinder equitable access, affecting students
across different regions and backgrounds. Some of the challenges include; poverty, regional inequalities,
gender disparities, lack of infrastructure, digital divide, economic barriers, teacher shortage among
others.
Our interventions in education focuses on initiatives designed to improve the learning outcomes of
students, especially those facing these challenges.
The first one is to promote access to education for children from underprivileged backgrounds
by offering scholarships and bursaries to enable them to pursue their education and realize their
dreams.
The second objective is improving infrastructure in schools by constructing science laboratories,
equipping libraries with relevant books to promote a reading culture, computer laboratories to
enhance digital literacy, sporting facilities and equipment to enhance talent development and
provision of desk to provide a conducive learning environment.
Teacher and learner reward programs to boost morale and motivate students, teachers, school
staff to encourage positive behavior and reinforce a culture of achievement and excellence.
Promoting parental and community engagement by educating parents and community leaders
on the value and benefits of education through organizing workshops and seminars for parents
and community leaders.
