Kids for Tomorrow: Giving Kenyan Students a Brighter Future
Headquartered in New York City, Kids for Tomorrow is dedicated to improving the world, one child at a time. Working towards a world where every child has access to a nurturing and inspiring education, Kids for Tomorrow supports programs that advance the development of knowledge, community participation, creativity, health, and sustainability. Taking a holistic approach in addressing world issues, the organization focuses on access to clean water, locally sourced materials and employment, affordable and healthy food options, safe and inspiring learning environments, volunteering and community involvement, and sustainable projects and practices.
Kids for Tomorrow has projects in Kenya, where education is technically free from nursery through eighth grade. Public schools are extremely overcrowded, however; a typical first grade class has 1 teacher and 85 students. By grades seven and eight, many students drop out. Kids for Tomorrow aims to provide children in Kenya with better learning environments, beginning with Hope Streams Academy and Sewa Junior Academy in Nairobi.
