A More Balanced World
inKenya
In Kenya, AMBW initially funded education of underprivileged high school students who couldn’t afford to continue beyond 8th grade, as there is an unequal access to secondary education by the privileged and deprived, in the country.
Currently the organization has put a focus on providing scholarship to college students. That’s because due to the staggering unemployment rate among youth (at 35%) AMBW has made a strategic decision that supporting students through higher education would add great value to their future earning potential, beyond the basic literacy that government schools provide.
Roughly 40% of Kenyans live in poverty while 80% of Kenya’s unemployed are under 35 years old. Educating youth beyond the primary grades is key to strengthening Kenya’s future.
