Overview
Removing cost as a barrier to school
For too many families in Pwani Region, a single term's school fees can mean choosing between a child's education and putting food on the table. Our Education Access & Scholarships programme exists to close that gap — covering tuition, exam fees, uniforms and learning materials for primary, secondary and vocational students who would otherwise be at risk of dropping out.
We work directly with head teachers and community leaders to identify students in genuine need, then walk with each one for the full academic year — not just a single payment, but ongoing monitoring of attendance and performance so support arrives before a small setback becomes a dropped-out year.
