In the charity's own words
We aim to promote education and help eradicate poverty by providing grants to support, nurture and mentor young people in Eldoret, Kenya, who find themselves in situations that result in a lack of parental guidance and consequent emotional and financial support. Such grants enable access to high school education, attainment of formal qualifications and enhancement of employment prospects.
