To our incredible community:
As we enter the final days of 2024, I want to thank you enormously for your ongoing support. Your donations over the past two months have assured us that we will have enough funds to continue sponsoring existing and new students in 2025.
I started KEF with the belief that higher education—in all its forms—has the transformative ability to increase agency, cultivate leadership, and unlock the potential of communities across the world.
Your support has truly opened the door for KEF scholars to make a tangible difference, whether it be building clinics, writing books, running parliamentary campaigns, mentoring young children, and/or breaking cycles of teen marriage and poverty. Together, we are creating a better world.
Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to meet with our scholars (current and former) to learn how KEF changed—and continues to change—their lives.
Listening to 30 students and alumni in Kenya and Tanzania talk about the impact of their education on their lives solidifies our belief in our mission.
Every one of them has overcome adversity. Most of them were orphaned or abandoned at an early age, and most still struggle to start a career, but they are resilient and good-humored and truly appreciate the helping hand of KEF and our donors and mentors. Many traveled ten or more hours to spend a few moments with our team to tell their story, exchange ideas among their peers, renew their commitment to pay it forward, and thank you, our donors.
We should all be very proud of the hundreds of lives our alumni change in East Africa every year as teachers, engineers, lawyers, social workers, administrators, and nurses.
Through lean and efficient operations, we have consistently supported our scholars and partners, and we will continue to do so through your dedication to our mission.
If you haven’t given recently, please consider contributing to KEF so that we may continue supporting our scholars.
$200 covers a quarter of an annual KEF scholarship.
