In February we partner with Mobi- global in adopting 10 teachers across the country through Adopt a teacher programmes. 

In March we partner with Jigger anti campaign in Matanga division school in Eldoret .

In April We had our second Young Education campaigners day at maseno which brought children from all our projects together for a wonderful party and a spectacular dancing and poem competition, all in honour of EFATP Porgramme work. 

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)

So there has certainly been a lot going on and all of this has only been possible through your kind, technical and financial support. Your contribution and support remains of great value to our work very much. We therefore take this opportunity to thank all of you for this support. . Thank you..Thanks!

We want to reach out, as broadly as we can, to share the story of Education for all trust programmes. The most encouraging moments in our journey are always the time that we meet people who share our passion. Their support, emotionally or financially, large or small, keep us committed to and focused on our vision. Together, we believe, we can take charge and make Education accessible and equity. 
If you feel connected with our cause, please spend 1-2 minutes to help us to Spread the Word about EFATP Kenya:
Join our cause on Facebook and invite your friends to do the same. 
E-mail your friends about our story. (a drafted email introduction is provided below to help you get started)
I came across the website for EFATP Kenya Foundation, an organization that was founded 5 years ago to help children in Kenya get access education to change their lives. It really inspired me to help. I thought that you might be interested in the work they are doing and would want to help too. 

You can check it out at www.efatpkenya.org or visit their facebook page at education for all trust programmes
