The story of KEF weaves together the rich histories of three organizations: the Kenya Education Fund (established in 2006), the Nomadic Kenyan Children’s Educational Fund (NKCEF, established in 2001), and the Children of Kibera Foundation (established in 2007). KEF has over 20 years of collective experience working to promote education in Kenya. KEF was started by Bradley Broder, a former Peace Co
rps Volunteer, and Dominic Muasya, a local community leader, to keep kids in high school when their means did not allow it. NKCEF was formed after a group of families from McLean, Virginia, accompanied their children’s high school teacher, Hon. Joseph Lekuton, on a trip to his nomadic homeland in Northern Kenya, where many of the children were not in school. The Children of Kibera Foundation was founded by the Honorable Ken Okoth (Kibera) and provides hundreds of educational scholarships to primary, secondary, and university students from Kibera, Africa’s largest slum. CoKF merged with KEF in 2013. Visit www.kenyaeducationfund.org to learn more.
