The million children living in countries under development do not have access to this fundamental right. There are many reasons why children are denied access to education: the inability to pay for uniforms, cultural beliefs wishing that educating is frivolous, or even a need children work to support their families.

But repeatedly, Kilimanjaro Education Foundation are reminded the importance of education as an engine of development. The World Bank estimates that countries of South Asia and Africa losing up to one percent of their income per capita annually, compared to countries where children have better access to quality education.

More educated women delay their first pregnancies, have healthier children and are much more likely to send their children to school. For each additional year of schooling that girl will do, it will increase their family income to 20 percent. According to the United Nations Fund for Population, each additional year of schooling a woman is associated with a reduction of 5 to 10 per cent of infant mortality.

That’s why KEF is working to open schools with children, where they are taught everything from science to business, while preparing them to lead a new generation and helping children to develop the skills that they needed to get better living conditions for themselves, their families and communities.

Providing access to education for girls and kids from certain regions of the world where it was previously forbidden them, KEF helps them to release their full potential.

It must act now. You can help many other children in the world to have better access to quality education and thereby transform their lives. You can make a real difference. It has the power to change the world. You have the power to help him do so. Please donate to Kilimanjaro Education Foundation today!
