MSINGI EDUCATION SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
Every child needs quality education, hope, and opportunity
The Reality of Education in Kibera
Education is a fundamental right, yet for many children in Kenya, especially in Kibera, it remains an unattainable dream. Over 1.5 million school-aged children in Kenya do not attend school due to poverty.
50% of Kenyan girls will never step into a classroom.
9 out of 10 children from poor households fail to complete 8th grade.
1 in 3 Kenyan 6th graders cannot read or write.
The Kenyan public education system is plagued with overcrowded classrooms, undertrained teachers, and insufficient resources, leaving thousands of children without quality education. This crisis is even more severe in Kibera—the largest informal settlement in Africa, where over 100,000 orphaned children struggle to survive, let alone attend school.
In Kibera:
43% of girls and 29% of boys never attend school.
Only one-third of youth over 13 years old are actively enrolled in school.
Many children are forced to change schools frequently due to lack of fees, disrupting their education.
The Consequences of No Education
Without education, Kibera’s children are vulnerable to a harsh reality:
Boys fall into gangs, drugs, and crime.
Girls face rape, exploitation, and early pregnancy—forcing 13,000 Kenyan girls to leave school permanently every year.
AIDS is rampant, affecting 1 in 3 people in Kibera, where the average life expectancy is just 30 years.
Despite these harsh realities, education remains the single most powerful tool to break the cycle of poverty and provide a pathway to a better future.
