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.
