Kenyan Urithi Education Fund

Transforming Lives Through Education

“It is not beyond our power to create a world

in which all children have access to a good education. Those who do not believe this

have small imaginations.”   -Nelson Mandella

 Our Vision

 KUEF recognizes

education as a key component for change and an effective, proven means of

addressing the core issues of poverty. 

We partner with the Kithoka community in Meru, Kenya to

develop effective solutions to improve education 

for those living in poverty. 

Our goal is to alleviate suffering in Kithoka from

acute poverty found only in developing countries. 

Projects

 KUEF targets basic needs that directly affect one’s educational capacity. KUEF programs are data driven and focus on proven strategies that work even in the most challenging places.

Each project addresses specific needs as identified by our Kenyan partners.

KUEF projects work to remove barriers to improve education. 

About Us

 KUEF is a small organization with significant results. 

Since 2003, we've built effective partnerships with the Kithoka community.

Offering a

"Hand Up" rather than a "Hand Out," through this partnership, we’ve seen projects thrive.  Together, we’ve reached significant goals.

Kenyan Urithi Education Fund (KUEF) is a

501 (c)(3) non-profit organization registered in Michigan and Utah.
