Education
Siaya project is an education project providing financial assistance, mentorship, and empowerment to secondary school students in Siaya County, Kenya. The project is based on the founders’ belief that education is the best way to change the world. Our idea is to make the world a better place, one student at a time.
Our selection criteria are simple: we choose students who are already enrolled in school. They have a dream and are diligent, hardworking, and self-driven. Their track record has been proven. These students have all that it takes to succeed in life, but they need a little push to help turn their dreams into reality. Their families are not in a position to pay for their high school education, so they need financial assistance.
The cheapest secondary school education in Kenya costs about 12,000 Kenyan shillings a year (approximately €100 and $120).
SEP currently has 16 students that it helps take through secondary school, but this number is increasing. Part of the school fees we pay out of the profit of the farm. The other part is paid by individual sponsors. We need your help to continue keeping these students in school and to enrol new participants in the project.
Apart from assisting our motivated and talented high school students throughout the year, we also host Nyasanda mentorship programs across the school vacation periods to further support and train our students.
