Support Students in Kenya

The Lonah Maiko Foundation currently has many needy students living in poverty whose lives would dramatically change with scholarship support.

Students Waiting for Scholarships

For many, receiving a scholarship means that they can attend school and gain an education, rather than having to find work as a child labourer in tea plantations, quarries, or in other even less desirable circumstances such as the sex trade.

"For over a decade, education for girls has been identified as one of the best solutions to reversing the relentless trend of poverty and disease devastating large portions of sub-Saharan Africa."

— UN Chronicle

Our Commitment to Girls' Education

The Lonah Maiko Foundation fully supports the United Nations emphasis on educating girls in Africa and encourages sponsors to support a girl's education through our program. Education is transformative—it breaks cycles of poverty and empowers women and girls to lead.

Supporting Children with Disabilities

The Lonah Maiko Foundation seeks to support children with disabilities to gain education and thereby increase their self-confidence and level of empowerment over their lives. We recognise the value of each individual, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, indigeneity, disability, age, displacement, caste, gender, gender identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, poverty, class, or socio-economic status, and seek to enable achievement of their full potential.

What You'll Receive

Scholarship donors receive a student profile, student school reports, and we encourage them to write to really get to know their child. This personal connection makes the impact even more meaningful.

Important Update

Due to the rapidly rising cost of living in Kenya, we have had to raise our scholarship fees for the first time in over 5 years. Your support is more critical than ever to ensure students can continue their education.

Payment can be made as a lump sum or in monthly installments. A single receipt is issued at the end of the financial year for your records and tax purposes.
