Review Description

Cheap Impact is a French registered non-profit organisation that operates at, and for, the Korando Educational Center in Kisumu, Kenya –a poor neighbourhood with low employment opportunities and low levels of education in the community. This non-formal school provides free education to 200 children and also sponsors older children to go to public secondary school and where possible, university. While public schools in Kenya are ‘free’, the additional cost of uniforms, supplies and transport can be too much for families living with low income. KEC focus on more than a basic curriculum, they also teach the children environmental sustainability and awareness, social and economic empowerment and women’s rights.
