Our Purpose

Kenyan education is based on an 8-4-4 system: eight years in primary school, four years in secondary and four in tertiary education.

The Kenyan education system is severely under funded and the Goverment is only providing some assistance with funding teachers. Most of the well-equipped and successful schools are private, expensive, often aimed at international or ex-patriot children, or are concentrated in the big cities. In Primary and Secondary education, the standard of schools varies enormously from the aforementioned well-funded and well-equipped schools, to the desperately under-equipped and under-staffed schools which Kenya KEEP is helping. Secondary education in Kenya receives some goverment funding, the levels are far from adequate and they receive no funding for boarding schools. Currently, the majority of poor Kenyans do not go beyond primary school.

In September 2006, the Kenya Kids Educational Enrichment Project (Kenya KEEP), a non-profit tax exempt organization, was founded to address the educational and humanitarian needs of children and schools in Kenya, Africa. Kenya KEEP is able to provide these services through personal donations.
