Pencil

Pencil Project

This project focuses on helping to provide the essential

tools - pencils - that are widely used in schools in Africa.

Pencils are seeming small and insignificant, yet they play

a vital role in the learning process. Children have an on-

going demand for them in their educational process.

EFATP Kenya ,Pencil Project campaign believes that it is

vital that "all the world's children have access to the tools

they need". We invite schools, groups, companies

and individuals to partner with us to collect or

sponsor .Together with the Pencil Project, we are continuing

to empower the education and development of kenyan children.

We also had the pleasure of working with partner organizations and networks to send a good number of our continuing children/Students to secondary school and college institution! Thanks for those of you who helped to make this possible! College studies and Secondary school is still a dream come true for all of these children.

Last month we received boxes of Pens & Pencil from penforkids international currently been distributed to needy children across Nairobi slums and rural schools.(ongoing)
