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 miss out on secondary education simply because their families cannot afford the school fees. Without education, their opportunities are limited and they remain caught in a cycle of poverty.
Teach a Child – Africa steps in to support bright, vulnerable children by paying for their school fees, uniforms and other essential items. This enables them to attend boarding school and reach their academic potential.
Most of our former beneficiaries qualified for university, and many are now in professional careers, able to support their families.
You can help change a life. It costs around £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).
Our Mission
'Teach a Child - Africa' helps orphaned and vulnerable children from poor families living in areas with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS. TaC pays secondary school fees and provides uniforms and other essentials to help them fulfil their academic potential and escape from a life of poverty.
