About Us
The Langalanga Scholarship Fund was first registered with the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales in March 1999 (Charity number 1076360). Initially the Fund paid for the secondary education of children who attended five 'harambee' (self help) primary schools. Now there are now twenty primary schools in the scheme. These schools are in the rural areas of the central highlands, where there are few amenities and the majority of the population are subsistence farmers. Educational opportunity and attainment are low, class sizes are large and the prospects of getting a reasonable education are limited. Selected scholars have to be from particularly disadvantaged homes and to have done very well in the national primary school exams, the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE). On average, twenty scholarships are awarded each year.

The charity promotes a strong partnership between sponsors, scholars and trustees to ensure that all our scholars achieve their potential and contribute to their own society. All money donated is used directly to further the education of our scholars. Administration costs are kept to a minimum and are covered by the bank interest generated on our accounts. All trustees are volunteers and not all claim the expenses to which they are entitled.

Harry Vialou Clark, the Founder and Chairman, receives invaluable assistance from like-minded trustees. Prior to 1999 he had been involved for many years in the construction of rural 'harambee' primary schools and, in an ad hoc way, a secondary school. In 2003 he formalised this work and founded the Kariandusi School Trust (KST), a registered charity whose main object is the construction of high quality primary schools.
