Access to secondary education and opportunity

The project aims to address the root cause of generational poverty amongst youth in Mombasa, through access to education and opportunity. More specifically, 30 high-potential students (15 girls and 15 boys) from low-income families will be supported in their last two years of high school education along with mentoring on soft skills that will support the youth to excel in their education and future professional careers. The financial support covers boarding school tuition fees, room and board, safe transportation, uniforms and other miscellaneous educational expenses. The students will be mentored in order to cultivate mindsets and skills that are critical for their success in school, career and life generally, such as: Collaboration, communication, emotional intelligence, problem solving and responsibility. The skills and mindsets are embedded within activity-based lessons focused on themes such as self-awareness, gender equity, healthy relationships, writing, community service, digital literacy, entrepreneurship, and career choices.

Founded in 2007, the Hatua Network is a Kenyan NGO that aims to end generational poverty by preparing promising youth form low-income families to thrive in Kenya’s modern economy.
