Elimu ya Kenya (EYK) was founded in 2007 by a group of friends passionate about education and charity. Officially registered in May 2008 under the Societies Act, EYK is a charity organization dedicated to helping vulnerable children access education and build the foundation for a decent future.
Since its inception, EYK has been a beacon of hope for vulnerable children, youth, and women in the coastal communities of Kisauni, Mombasa. Our flagship project, Elimu Ya Kenya School, was established with support from Education4Kenya (Germany). Today, we serve over 400 children through our school, in addition to supporting hundreds more through scholarships, vocational training, and empowerment programs.
