Sponsor a child in Kenya

In Kenya when you sponsor a child, a little can go a long way.

£40 per month fully supports the education of a child.

Covering the cost of primary, secondary and tertiary fees, and the essentials needed to thrive, means that the child you sponsor can attend their place of education without the fear of being sent home.

In addition to their fees, your sponsorship covers uniforms, books, shoes, stationery, access to school meals, menstrual care products for girls and accommodation costs for college and university students living away from home.

The costs of education vary depending on the institution and stage of education a child is at. Most of the children are at primary school level when GEF start supporting them, which means there is an accumulation of funds for when they reach the more expensive stages of secondary and tertiary education.

Through separate donations and fundraising, alongside your sponsorship we strive to improve the quality of life for children and their families through shelter and wellbeing support.

 

The friendships made through this scheme are life long and the change being made is tangible. You will get back more than you give!
