Education

Education is critical to empower the next generation. Our programmes include the funding of two primary schools, in addition to student and child sponsorships, where the focus is to support children and young adults in primary, secondary and tertiary education in both Turkana (Kenya) and Ethiopia. As a result of the success of our Girl’s Education Programme, we now have several female students from Turkana attending university in Kenya. Another important initiative is the primary school we help to fund in Todonyang, where the rival tribes of Turkana and Dassanech (from across the border in Ethiopia) live side by side while their children are educated to promote peace in the area. Also, in Ethiopia, another key programme is facilitating the support of children by specific individual sponsors.
