We believe in the power of education which enables young people to learn to participate in the political process, understanding the value of 'promises' and what is right.
-They learn to be assertive, protecting themselves against traditional and cultural pressures.
-They know how to get help and advice outside their immediate community
-They are more likely to choose a worthwhile partner (emphasis on choice, especially for girls)
-They look after their own health better, knowing how to protect themselves from water borne diseases, malaria, STD's and HIV
- As studies have shown, the children of educated parents are healthier and usually go to school, With education and confidence these young people tend to become leaders in their communities.

Where do we offer assistance?
Helping bright, needy young Kenyans
Welcome to KEEF, the Kenya Education Endowment Fund. We are a Canadian, non-profit society, helping young people with education in cooperation with African communities through financial support and personal involvement.
Canadian organizations have been awarding scholarships to bright, needy students in Kenya’s Western Province for over twenty years. We are there because of our long standing experience with the schools and the people.
Education is vital to children in developing countries. We aim to keep children in school. We are a group of volunteers who between us have spent many years in Western Province and have helped many students. We have formed a non-governmental organization with a Canadian Management Board and an Administrative Board in Kenya.
