What we do?
Kenya Connect is committed to lifting the 18,000 students in our community out of extreme poverty through the power of education. Literacy is a key component of not only academic achievement, but lifelong success. It's notenough to just provide books. We are creating excitement, interest and a passion for reading inWamunyu.
Why we do it?
We believe in the power of education. As Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." We know in our community there are future astronauts, cancer doctors, political leaders, writers, and artists. We want to provide them with the tools and education to reach their dreams.
Students in rural Kenya are eager and bright, but their schools lack basic supplies and resources. The Village that Reads is just one of the many programs we provide to strengthen education for students at our 90 partner schools.
