“In our community, when you get kicked out of school, your hope is taken from you.
School was the big hope for breaking the cycle of addiction, violence, abuse, teenage pregnancy, illegal fishing, and poverty to lift one’s family forward.”
–Bernard Otieno, Talanta Scholarship Program Manager
Talanta Scholarship Fund
Every term, students are sent home from school because they cannot pay the fees…
For $40 a month, you can help a student stay in school and find their path to hope.
In Kenya, public education is not free. Students whose families cannot afford the school fees, or to pay for uniforms, cannot attend. Every term, tens of thousands of students across the country are sent home from school because they cannot pay.
The Talanta Scholarship Fund supports students and families as they claim back their education and their hope. The fund sponsors scholarships for secondary school, university, and vocational school to create pathways for jobs and empowerment. Meanwhile, Talanta Scholarship Mentors holistically walk alongside students to ensure they can thrive inside and outside of school, connect to meaningful opportunities, and bring their communities along with them.
“I would like to invite you to be part of this journey for better lives.”
