Education for Life

Give a vulnerable child in Kenya access to secondary education and break the cycle of poverty

Many orphaned and vulnerable children in Kenya are excluded from secondary school simply because their families can't afford to pay. Without an education, these children are left with few opportunities and face the prospect of a life of 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 selected boarding schools and reach their full academic potential.

On completing their secondary education, most of our students qualify for university, and many have started careers and support their families.

Help us 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 four years of secondary school. 

​

However, from 2026, Kenya’s new competency-based curriculum will reduce the time pupils spend in boarding school from four to three years, making it even more critical to support students through their studies.
