Education for Life

Break the cycle of poverty by giving a vulnerable child in Kenya access to secondary school

Many orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya are excluded from secondary school simply because their families can't afford the cost. Without an education, children are left with few opportunities and face the prospect of living in poverty.

​

Teach a Child - Africa steps in to pay for school fees, uniforms, and other essential items, giving many talented children the chance to attend boarding school and fulfil their academic potential.

On completing their secondary education, most of our beneficiaries qualify for university, and many have gone on to start careers and to support their families.

​

Help us to extend this life-changing opportunity to other vulnerable children in need. Your support could change a life. It takes approximately £500 a year, or £42 a month, to support one child through three years of senior secondary school. 

​

From 2026, Kenya’s new competency-based curriculum reduces pupils' time in boarding school from four to three years, making it even more critical we support them through their studies.
