Meet Several KEEF Students
As of 2011, KEEF provided scholarships for 70 students to attend secondary school and assisted about two dozen more students from the Student Support Fund, including two special needs students. At the post secondary level, KEEF assisted 28 students – 21 young men and 7 young women.
These excerpts from letters written by KEEF students provide a small glimpse into their lives.
Edwin Osundwa
My name is Edwin Osundwa. I was born on 27th September 1995.
My aunt's house is temporary it was made from some pieces of timber, mud and some iron sheets. Our house floor is made of mud and cow dung. We don't smear the floor because of the materials it is made of.

Alex Wanjala
I was born in the year 1995 in Kakamega, North district. I
was born alone in a family of three, father, mother and I myself. I stayed with both my
parents up to the year 2000 when my father passed away due to the heart attack by cancer. I
was taken to live with my grandmother. At the beginning it was so hard to cope with the
situation of living without parents. My mother went to live with my maternal
grandmother.
