The Kenya Education Fund is a registered 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization dedicated to helping underprivileged Kenyans improve their lives by giving them the opportunity to finish high school and acquire the skills they need to be healthy and successful members of our global community. This special organization was started by Bradley Broder and Dominic Muasya – two individuals from vastly different backgrounds but united by the belief that an educated population can break the cycle of dependence, illness and poverty in Kenya and throughout Africa.

In Kenya, one of President Mwai Kibaki's first acts as leader in 2002 was to abolish school fees for public education up to grade 8. Overnight, school attendance doubled while no new teachers were hired. Today, the student-teacher ratio in some classrooms is 100 to 1 and the quality of education in Kenya is declining as a result. While primary education remains free, most children will not go on to high school due to prohibitively high fees.

The beauty of the KEF is its ability and desire to assist students in all parts of Kenya. Our extensive network of Peace Corps volunteers, civil servants and non-governmental organizations allows us to identify the most needy and deserving of students throughout the country. Because every Kenyan community faces similar problems of poverty, unemployment and illness, the services we provide are desperately needed everywhere.
