In the heart of Kenya, the Weiss Scholarship Foundation is transforming lives through a unique, holistic approach to education. Unlike traditional scholarship programs that merely cover tuition, our model provides comprehensive support to students, ensuring their academic and personal success.

Our dedicated team, including full-time, university-educated staff based in Kenya, is deeply involved in the daily lives of our students. They offer mentorship, guidance, and resources, helping students navigate challenges both inside and outside the classroom. This on-the-ground presence ensures that each student receives personalized attention, fostering an environment where they can thrive.

Since our inception, we've awarded 281 scholarships, with 131 students currently in high school, 70 advancing to university and 64 to vocational school. Our commitment to gender equality is evident, as we divide all funds equally between girls and boys, empowering young women to overcome societal barriers and pursue their dreams.

Our impact extends beyond individual students. In Dago, Kenya, we've more than doubled the number of students graduating from high school, with average KCPE scores increasing by 40%. The performance gap between girls and boys has narrowed significantly, from 20% to just 3%, reflecting our dedication to equitable education.

By investing in education, we're not only changing individual lives but also contributing to the broader goal of eradicating poverty. Educated individuals are better equipped to secure employment, support their families, and drive community development. Our students are the future leaders and problem-solvers of Kenya, poised to make significant contributions to their society.

Join us in this transformative journey. Your support enables us to expand our reach, offering more students the opportunity to receive a quality education and break free from the cycle of poverty. Together, we can build a world where every child has access to the education they deserve.
