Books printed in Nairobi, futures written everywhere

Kenyan children enrol in school at remarkable rates, but many share a single textbook between three or more pupils, and too many ten-year-olds cannot yet read a simple story. The gap is not ambition. It is materials, teachers' support and the cost of staying in class.

How we work in education

  • 01

    Textbooks printed by Kenyan printers and distributed by Kenyan logistics firms.

  • 02

    Full-year scholarships that cover the hidden costs that push girls out of school.

  • 03

    Every book run carries a serial range on the ledger, traceable to a school.
