At GKL Community-Based Organization, we believe education is the cornerstone of empowerment and sustainable development. Guided by our mission to support underprivileged individuals and transform communities, we are committed to creating pathways for learning and academic growth for children, youth, and vulnerable groups.
Our Focus Areas
- Scholarships & Bursaries | Providing financial support for bright but disadvantaged students to access higher education within Kenya and beyond.
- Mentorship & Guidance | Offering structured mentorship programs to equip learners with life skills, leadership values, and personal development tools.
- School Campaigns & Community Outreach | Partnering with schools and local leaders to run awareness campaigns on education, health, reproductive rights, and drug/substance abuse.
- Support for Vulnerable Learners | Assisting young people at risk of early marriage, gender-based violence, and other social challenges so they can continue with their education.
Why It Matters
Education breaks the cycle of poverty, empowers communities, and builds a generation of problem-solvers. By investing in education, we ensure that every child and youth—regardless of background—has the opportunity to achieve their full potential.
