By The Numbers

Kenya Keys 2020

Look What We Accomplished Together!

Your sponsorships last year supported 373 students, while other donations from you funded many special projects and provided salaries for key staff. We remain grateful for your support of these precious students!

An Eye On 2021

There are fundamentals we strive for every year, and some years there are big surprises (can you say Covid?). But each year brings another group of amazing students to win our hearts and enrich our lives.

Sponsorships

High School Freshmen – 45 incoming freshmen will receive sponsorships.

Continuing Students – 10 choice students, already in HS or college, will be awarded sponsorships.

Infrastructure

MacKinnon Dorm – In about a month, construction will be completed and the bunkbeds you purchased will be delivered!

E-Learning Classroom – This will be a brick-and-mortar project at the Taru Boys school. Watch for more information.

Programs

Hope Springs – This new initiative, aimed at 240 at-risk 5th-8th grade girls, will help them find their voice and empower them to stay in school and navigate a dangerous and unpredictable world. Recent Kenya Keys alumni will coordinate the program.

Emergency Student Aid

Many Kenyan families, hard hit by the economic effects of Covid-19, find that they are suddenly unable to pay tuition. Kenya Keys will help address some of that critical need by providing emergency tuition to 10 outstanding students. This is not a typical sponsorship, but short-term assistance to help them complete the last year or two of high school.

If you would like to help, please consider clicking to donate to our most urgent need. Our goal is to raise $4,000 by the end of March.

15 Years of Growth

In true Covid style, we celebrated our 15th Anniversary via Zoom.

Check out these highlights.

Neighbors - A World Apart

Looking back at these 15 years, we are amazed at the growth of students, the expansion of services, and the love of sponsors, donors, and volunteers. No hearts are more generous, and no education more valued.

Miriam Omar reflects on a difficult childhood, changed by the sponsorship from Kenya Keys. (35 seconds)

"The young people we serve have one thing in common - the desire to learn. This desire is so strong, that they will choose to learn over food, over comfort, over any kind of relief of suffering that we are able to observe. They soak up learning like the rain parched land soaks up any hint of water."
