This winter we are focusing on providing secondary school tuition for our hard-working students. All Kenyan students pay fees to attend school beyond the 8th year.As Umoja Project primary school students receive food and support over the years, more are achieving high scores on the KCPE exam, which determines the secondary education options available to them. We have more students qualify than we are currently funding, and we want to close that gap.
The average cost of a year of high school in our project area is $350. We have supported 100 students each year (25 per grade level). This year our goal is to increase the number of new students to 35.
With your help, we can help educate more young people, giving them a brighter future and a path out of poverty.
