Education

Opening Doors to a Different Future

Education is one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. In Kenya, while primary education is officially free, many families still face significant costs—including uniforms, books, and additional fees—preventing children from attending school.

For street-connected children and those living in extreme poverty, access to education is often out of reach.

Our Approach

At Gap Kenya, education is at the heart of everything we do. Across our centres and foster homes, we provide children with the opportunity to learn, grow, and build a future beyond their current circumstances.
Our approach supports children at every stage:
  • Early learning and development
  • Foundational literacy and numeracy
  • Access to formal schooling
  • Extra tuition where necessary
  • Ongoing support through secondary, college, and university education

From First Steps to Future Careers

Children who begin their journey with little or no education are supported to catch up and progress.

Many go on to attend secondary school, college, and university—achievements that would have once been out of reach.

Lasting Impact

Education does more than provide knowledge—it builds confidence, independence, and opportunity.

Through learning, children begin to see new possibilities for their lives and develop the skills they need to create a more stable and hopeful future.

“We currently support 58 children in formal education, with some progressing through college and university.”
