Education as the Key to a Successful Future
Why Secondary School Is So Important
Attending a Secondary School is the key to a successful and self-determined future for children in Kenya. It opens up better career opportunities, strengthens important everyday skills, and is a prerequisite for further education or university studies.
If you are interested in the details of the education system in Kenya, we explain how it is structured and what reforms have taken place in recent years on this page.
The Cost of Attending Secondary School
Our oldest children at Maua Villa attend Secondary School, for which we rely on your support for funding. Secondary education opens up new horizons for the children and forms the foundation for personal development and professional success. The transition to secondary school usually involves moving, as the children now live at school. On average, we need 800 EUR per child per year. This funds school fees, which vary depending on the school, as well as uniforms, learning materials, and school trips.
The amount also includes one-time expenses at the beginning of the school year, such as the purchase of a mattress, bed sheets and bedding, locker, cup, and cutlery, as well as monthly costs for hygiene and household products. To ensure the children can come to Maua Villa during the holidays, the amount also includes a portion for travel expenses.
You Make the Difference
Your donation enables our Maua Villa children to access education and a self-determined and successful future. Even a small contribution makes a big difference in the lives of our children.
Currently, 9 of our children attend Secondary School, and thanks to your donations, the costs for their school attendance in 2025 are already fully covered.
To ensure that every child can continue their education in the coming years, we are already collecting donations for the 2026 school year. By then, a total of 11 Maua Villa children will be attending secondary school. For the 2026 school year, we anticipate average costs of about 800 € per child.
