Education Access and Equity
Facilitating access to quality education by herders Kids
We believe that education is a fundamental human right and a powerful tool for breaking cycles of poverty, marginalization, and inequality.
Yet,
for many children and youth in Turkana County — especially girls, children with disabilities, and those from nomadic pastoralist backgrounds — access to quality education remains a distant dream. Our Education Access and Equity program is designed to close this gap.
We sponsor a child and champion for inclusive, culturally relevant, and accessible education systems that reflect the needs of Indigenous communities.

What We Do.
Strengthen Community Education –
We collaborate with schools, parents, and local leaders to improve infrastructure, increase enrollment, and reduce dropout rates—especially for girls and marginalized youth. Support School Retention –
Through bursaries, uniforms, mentorship, and learning materials, we help learners from vulnerable backgrounds stay in school and succeed. Promote Girls' Education –
We address cultural and systemic barriers that hinder girls’ education, including early marriage, gender-based violence, and lack of menstrual hygiene facilities. Indigenous Knowledge Integration –
We advocate for the inclusion of Indigenous languages and cultural knowledge in school curricula, creating a learning environment that values local identity and heritage. Capacity Building –
We provide training for teachers, school boards, and community education committees to promote equity, child protection, and learner-centered approaches.
