Why the word "Urithi" in Kenyan Urithi Education Fund?
Pronounced: "oo-re-dee" in the Kimeru language,
it literally means "to feed."
Urithi describes our goal to enrich and nurture education.
WHY did you form a non-profit?
Kenyan Urithi Education Fund was formed by a group of individuals who shared a common experience while visiting Kithoka on a service trip.
Local leadership of this rural community outside of Meru, asked us to build a secondary day school. Prior to the building of BLISS, a high school education was not available for the vast majority of the population.
Passion, skills and need led to partnering
with Kithoka to build BLISS and develop educational opportunities.
When did you incorporate?
KUEF incorporated on September 9, 2008 in the state of Michigan. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service granted 501(c)3 public charity status on September 15, 2009. Currently we are a registered non-profit in Michigan and Utah.
