Success & Sustainability
New teacher, Lilian, in her classroom.
It has been estimated* that sixty-four percent (64%) of the overall unemployment in Kenya is comprised of youths 14 to 24 years of age. A weakened Kenyan economy and the cost of higher education are sited as the two main causes of youth unemployment. *Source: UN.org
The Jirani Project works to ensure that all sponsored children receive the education and skills training they need to be successful and contributing members of Kenyan society. Our hope would be that these children, once freed from the cycle of poverty and unemployment, will help to create a more sustainable Kenya, and one day assist other children from similar circumstances in the process.
