KenyaHELP

KenyaHELP, Inc. is an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Green Bay providing high school scholarships to academically deserving students in the Meru, Kenya region. Each year, KenyaHELP partners with principals at six schools in Meru to identify ambitious students who cannot afford tuition, then funds their education and expenses through graduation — provided they maintain academic standards. The program supports approximately 40 students annually at a cost of $500–$700 per student per year. Since 2003, KenyaHELP has educated over 100 students. In 2010, they launched a Post-Secondary Grant program that has helped over 30 graduates attend universities and colleges in Kenya. Each year a team from Green Bay travels to Meru to host a Leadership Retreat covering communication skills and goal setting.
