About Us
At Giving Back to Kenya, we aim to change communities by encouraging the support of Kenyan immigrants and other friends of Kenya. Many immigrants from Kenya came from communities that have high levels of poverty, poor healthcare and education availability. Our goal is to encourage the support of current projects or the identification and support of projects that advance our mission.
Our target support projects geared to improve education availability, and healthcare delivery in local communities.
​
Our Why
The socioeconomic impact of having a high school diploma verses an eighth grade education is of immense benefit not only to the individual but also the community and the world. With a burden to change lives, and improve communities, putting kids back in school to complete their high school education was the right thing for us to do.
Our Impact
When we first started supporting students, we partnered with other organizations with similar goals, but in 2014 our organization was formed. Since then, we have enabled over 49 students, who had previously dropped out, or never attended high school to earn a high school diploma.
Every year we fully support more than 20 students, in various high school grades. Some of these at risk students are as old as 18 years when they start high school. Every year, with the assistance of members of our local community. Giving back to Kenya recruits new students into the program.
Our alumni have excelled! Many of them getting admissions into universities and colleges in Kenya. Although our mission is to help with high school education, we are now seeking the partnership of friends to assist the students who desire to further their career and be independent and responsible members of society.
