2012: Global Change for Children - A Key Partner with KEEF
We extend sincere thanks to Global Change for Children
for adding to our abilities to help Kenyan students help themselves and their families. It is a
local belief that each Kenyan student who is supported helps at least 100 other family members in
their lifetime.
We hope
that GC4c is the first of many corporate sponsors that will assist KEEF to grow in its development
work in Kenya.

2012: Alinda Ware and Marie MacKay busy with student selection
December and January are very hectic months in Kakamega. Fortunately KEEF Board members Alinda and Marie have been carrying on this work for many years, but they will tell you that each year is different. New students are interviewed and selected based on academic criteria and financial need. Then local Kenyans validate each student before scholarships or support funding is confirmed. Photos are taken, students write biographies, and sponsors are assigned.

2011: Brothers Ronny & Ross study by solar lamp
Solar lighting is becoming common in Kenya and small solar lamps for studying can make a dramatic impact on a student's progress. Eye strain and vision problems have been widespread because students spend long evening hours studying by small kerosene lamps. KEEF has provided solar lamps to a number of students.
