Kenya Education Fund (KEF) is a non-profit organization based in New York City that operates locally in Kenya. Founded in 2001 and registered in 2006, KEF provides full scholarships for high school and the first year of university, alongside annual life skills, reproductive health, and career readiness workshops. The organization targets financially underprivileged Kenyan youth, addressing barriers to education caused by the cost of schooling and aiming to facilitate transitions from secondary education to higher education. KEF emphasizes access to quality education as a means to reduce poverty, gender-based violence, and injustice, and it serves a diverse student population regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender. A recent development noted is a partnership reported in 2023 with HapaKenya Media Ltd. to support needy cases in Kenya. KEF’s activities place it within the education-focused non-profit sector, aiming to strengthen educational outcomes and long-term opportunity for its beneficiaries.
