EDUCATION SPONSORSHIP

Keeping her in school, securing her future

For many adolescent girls in Nairobi's informal settlements, staying in the classroom is an ongoing struggle against financial hardship and period poverty. At Farida Girls Foundation, we believe that education is a fundamental right, not a luxury. By directly paying school fees and providing comprehensive dignity packs for vulnerable girls like the one pictured here, we systematically dismantle the barriers that force young women to drop out. Our sponsorship pipeline guarantees that these bright students can focus entirely on their academic success, personal development, and future leadership potential.
