ACCOSS believes that every child should have access to education as a fundamental right – regardless of the family’s financial situation. By financing the education of the children, ACCOSS is directly alleviating poverty, allowing the family to spend the scarce funds they have on food and basic living needs. Supporting higher education for the children has long reaching effect in both the child and the family unit.
Although just a new-comer in Kenya, ACCOSS has already found a number of children in desperate situations struggling to go to school. From impoverished families in the slums and ghettos of Nairobi, these children stand little to no chance of getting to school let alone actually learning and achieving something.
Currently, ACCOSS supports over 40 students from poor backgrounds to get to school and learn without hindrance.In most cases, where the family might struggle with daily necessities, the child will still be able to learn because of the support we’ve given them. This generally includes breakfast and lunch at the school – ensuring at least 1 square meal a day if no other.
Get Involved!
Sponsor a Kid
All children deserve a go at getting a basic education. Help turn this into a reality.
Buy a Uniform
Buy a uniform for one of the Children.
Uniforms boost the child’s self-esteem and give them a sense of belonging.
Boost the Books
We loan text books to the students we support. As our library expands, we will be in a better capacity to help the students more.
So They Can Eat
For many of our children, the breakfast and lunch they eat at school may be the only meal they have in a day. Help ensure they get this much.
Why choose ACCOSS?
ACCOSS has trusted staff on the ground where the families of the children we sponsor live. This has the advantage of knowing the ins-and-outs of each of the families. For example, if the father is a drunk, we know about it – what’s more, we are trying to do something about it for the sake of the children involved.
