Education for all in Kenya
This is the home page of the EFATP-KENYA Education for all organization. Here you will find A unique programe that brings significant changes to the poor and needy children and families from destitute areas within Kenya.
Many thousands of Kenyan families have little or no means of income and therefore cannot qualify for free(?) education as the main criteria for getting that education is that they MUST provide their own school uniforms.This is a ludicrous situation as many live on half a cup of porridge a day!

Sponsorship Experience
-Yvonne Jannette Chemtai , Finally, when asked about how and why she became involved with EFATP "ADOPT- A- CHILD EDUCATION" Two years ago, Yvonne told us that she saw an ad for the organization. “I knew that I wanted to sponsor a child at that time. I didn’t have much money but it was an inexpensive way to make a difference in the life of a child. One of my favorite quotes,” she added, “is, ‘I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I won’t let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.’”

....The impact EFATP has in the community is far-reaching. It is not uncommon for us to receive requests from Students, Parents or Youth who desire sponsorship from EFATP Kenya. One such letter was handed to our offices this past weekend. Here is the text:
To the Office of EFATP Kenya:
Dear Madam, I am a form two student at anointed secondary school in Korogocho ,hardworking ,disciplined ,self respected and motivated have been having problems with paying my schools fees since my father died and I was left under responsibility of my mother who at this time does not have a job to pay my school fees. Despite that she has been struggling hard to assist people with household duties so as to feed and educate us. Because of this, sometimes I have been forced to stay out of school so as to assist my mother with some of the duties e.g. washing dishes, clothes or baby seating to raise my fees. I know if a am considered for The Radiant bursary .I will perform better than l am now, since I will spend more time at school. Your attention and consideration will be highly appreciated Madam. Thanks.
You can help us respond positively to request from needy youths and students like this. Please give to the EFATP Kenya your kshs.100, 200, 500, 1000 counts. This girl could join the other EFATP Kenya-sponsored students in receiving a quality education and finish her secondary studies to help improve her future and siblings.

EDUCATE TO CREATE CHANGE!To instigate change, and to bring hope to those in need,a group of volunteers set out to provide by fund raising , sponsorships and corporate involvement the means to raise uniforms and other neccessary things such as teachers,materials,furnitures.The results have been outstanding and great progress has ,as you will read, been made.
However the work must continue with even greater vigour if the targets and aims are to be fully implemented.
