EDUCATION
The purpose of Yatima is to increase access to education for orphans and vulnerable children across Kenya. This is done through access, retention, and provision of a child-friendly school environment to OVC’s across Kenya every year.
The education dream is realized through the following interventions;
Educational Support
This involves payment of school levies to students in graduate and sponsorship programs, support with school learning materials such as stationery, school uniforms and other learning requirements.
School Feeding Program
Students in graduate and sponsorship programs receive breakfast and lunch on a daily basis through the school feeding program.
Psycho Social Support
Our children come from backgrounds full of emotionally draining issues such as domestic violence, different forms of abuse and neglect thus Yatima provides on going psycho-social support services to address these issues so that they are able to cope and concentrate in class.
Impact Created
Through educational support, over 20 students who sat grade 12 exams passed very well and were able to attain direct university admission entry points to pursue different courses of their choice
Education Sponsorship

Additionally, we have a post-graduate program designed to help students pursue further studies after completing Grade 12.
