About this organization
Mission
Uweza Aid Foundation empowers Kenyan children and youth to pursue a path to a better future through the discovery and development of their talents and abilities.
About
The Uweza Sponsorship Program links sponsors to children in Kibera in order to provide academic scholarships for bright children in need of support. Primary and high school are not free in Kenya and the costs of education are often unaffordable for families in Kibera. As a result, many bright students, who are the key to the future of Kenya, are forced to miss days or weeks of school, drop out, or never attend at all. All sponsored students receive payment of school fees, school field trips, school uniforms, textbooks, some school supplies, termy life skills workshops, and mentorship and guidance from the Uweza staff. Recipients are chosen on the basis of need and academic performance. Sponsored students are chosen from the community and from participants in our other programs who are doing well in school. Before admission into the program, Uweza staff conduct an interview with the student and his/her guardians, conduct a home visit, and review past academic performance.
