Our fully equipped resource centre is readily available to students within Kilifi communities over the weekends and school holidays. Counselling and mentorship are offered to beneficiaries on a need basis.
In 2020
- We sponsored 241 children from primary and secondary schools. This translates to over 3,600 beneficiaries from primary to university level since Kesho Kenya’s inception.
- 75 students in primary and 34 in secondary school received comprehensive revision materials to enable them to continue learning while at home as schools had been closed due to Covid-19 pandemic.
- We conducted training on leadership, public speaking, career guidance, basic first aid, and sexual reproductive health to our beneficiaries through their respective departments. Training for the mentioned year were limited as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic that saw the suspension of social gatherings.
- Our Adult Literacy class has 28 members and is accessible to all interested in the Adult Learning Programme free of charge at the stipulated timeframes.
