Why Education?
ACTS was founded on the belief that education is the most impactful investment a person can make in themselves and others. Nowhere is education more important than in the developing world, where each child faces hardships and distractions that can derail their learning.
60% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa leave education before they are 15. Often trading education for subsistence work
36% of adolescent girls are excluded from education in Sub-Saharan Africa. A rate 4% higher than boys
40% of Kenyans are under the age of 15, making access to education a challenge that needs immediate attention
When the cost of fees, books and equipment are taken care of, children and their families are freed from the need to sacrifice wellbeing for education. ACTS believes in a holistic approach to enable children to thrive in education, not just to survive.
