EFAC: Secondary & University Scholarships

Education For All Children

EFAC provides an education-to-employment program for bright, disadvantaged Kenyan youth to foster leadership, economic opportunity and social progress.
As our primary schools began to produce graduates from the eighth grade, the need for scholarships for secondary school became more obvious. For over five years we have given partial scholarships to secondary schools to top achievers among our graduates.

This led to our partnership with an organization called Education for All Children or EFAC. EFAC focuses on the children who are most impoverished but who have the most potential to succeed in their education. Based on performances on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education high stakes test taken at the end of grade nine, EFAC awards full secondary school and university scholarships to the poorest children, who score in the top 10% nationally.

In addition, EFAC has a well developed support system that supports and mentors the students through the emotional, cultural and social challenges of moving from the conditions of the slums and away from family to exclusive boarding schools of national standing.

Khadijah’s Story

EFAC scholar Khadijah
Khadijah has been an EFAC Scholar through high school and now into university. She’s a shining example of the benefit of this program as it helps and supports students to prepare for productive futures and to be intentional about giving back to their communities.

Khadijah is a graduate of Bahati Girls School, where she was visited by some of the KCEF team during their 2019 visit to Kenya.

Khadija studies software development at KCA University and makes time to pursue her passion for being a change maker.

Inspired by her experience with EFAC, she started “Girl Talks” in her home community to create a space for girls to share and listen and support each other. The topics range from self esteem to gender-based violence to substance abuse. Starting with just 3 girls, she now meets regularly with larger groups from all backgrounds.
