Education is the most valuable tool we can use against poverty

Sponsor a Student

High school in Kenya is not free. Fewer than 16% of families can afford school costs, forcing most students to drop out after 9th grade. Sponsorship allows students to stay in school and work toward breaking cycles of poverty. Our post-secondary students are sponsored through the entirety of their program, graduating college debt-free.

Support a student’s educational journey

  • Empower students to achieve their dreams

    Create lasting impact by becoming a sponsor. Your support can guide a student through 3 years of high school and/or 1-4 years of college.

  • Build lasting connections

    Students share updates and photos, personally expressing their gratitude. Our staff facilitates this exchange, making it easy to foster a relationship.

  • Start a chain reaction

    Sponsorship lifts up entire families and enables students to support their communities. Visit our impact page for stories of students giving back.

How the Process Works

Registration

Tell us your sponsorship preferences, such as whether you want to sponsor a high school or college student. Our students vary in grade levels, so sponsoring a younger student will likely result in a longer commitment.

Matching

Our Sponsorship Director will send you profiles of some of our scholars. Select one, two, or more students! High school sponsorships are $450/year per student; college sponsorships are $900/year per student. Sponsorships can be paid yearly or quarterly.

Updates & Letters

Kenya Keys works diligently to provide organization-wide and student-specific updates. Twice per year, we facilitate a letter exchange so that you and your student may directly write to one another and build a meaningful relationship.

Why Sponsorship?

Together, we can empower students to stay in school and achieve success that transforms their families for generations. Start your journey to sponsorship by completing the form on this page. We will send you a short biography and photo of your student.

Sponsorship is based on connection; you will share their journey with them, celebrate achievements, and build a lasting relationship as you exchange letters and photos.
