In modern-day
Kenya unemployment is high, especially in the rural areas
of the Rift Valley where the majority of the population are
very poor subsistence farmers eking out a living on a small
plot of scrubland. In order to ensure that our scholars get
the best possible chance of good employment, and the many
benefits to the family and community that come with it, it
is vitally important that they are educated beyond school
level.
It is
indicative of the success of the scheme that most scholars
have qualified for university or college courses. Almost 20%
of our school leavers are now undertaking degree courses,
compared with approximately 2% nationally.
