In the charity's own words
At Children First Kenya, our top priority is to make education accessible to every child and fight for gender equality. We focus our work predominantly in parts of Kenya inhabited by the Pokot tribe. We believe that education is pivotal to ending child marriage and practice of FGM, and in turn to building a fair and bright future for everyone.
