From strong starts to lifelong opportunity.

For more than 23 years, The Kilgoris Project’s holistic approach has built pathways from early childhood through high school for children in the transmara region. Because children are starting school at the right age, staying healthier, and learning longer, students across Kilgoris are reaching milestones that were once out of reach.

Children Are Staying in School—and Going Further.
