Global Education Fund (GEF) Kenya works with promising students who would not otherwise be able to attend secondary school, as well as supporting these students to be ready to leverage their education post-secondary. Since 2007, our efforts have been focused in the slums in Embakasi, an underserved area in Nairobi, to provide a Young Leaders program that commits to partnering with students the entire four years of their secondary schooling with a holistic approach to education that includes: scholarships, leadership skills, mentoring, and expeditionary learning. Girls’ unique needs are addressed in a supplemental program for girls.
