Due to various issues related to education in Africa, children aren’t reaching their full potential. In Kenya specifically, quality standards aren’t properly enforced, and coordination efforts to deliver development services are weak. Further, government expenditure per student is lower than the world average—and students in the poorest areas receive significantly less. Many students are forced to sit in crowded classrooms, share outdated textbooks, and even go without lunch. Despite their best efforts, teachers aren’t able to give each eager young mind the attention they deserve. As a result, learning outcomes are low.

At the GADMT, we believe education is a fundamental human right. Every child should have the chance to learn and grow. That’s why we’ve launched a project to fund education in Africa—one that impacts more than 3.8 million students between 4 and 18 in Kenya alone. In addition to improving existing schools and building new ones in areas of need, our efforts serve the Ministry of Education’s Early Learning and Basic Education Programs and the Kenya Global Partnership for Education Compact.
