KUEF recognizes education as a key component for change and an effective proven means of addressing the core issues of poverty. We partner with the Kithoka community in Meru, Kenya to develop effective solutions to improve education for those living in acute poverty. Our goal is to alleviate suffering in Kithoka by supporting local leaders with their educational, nutritional, and public health initiatives to improve educational outcomes. Our hope is that successful graduates bring their skills and newly acquired resources back to the Kithoka community to create self-sustaining growth and new opportunities for future students.
