Secondary schools, universities and technical schools in Kenya are not free and are unaffordable for almost all Samburu families.

We pair the top 10% of ELEMENTARY school graduates with individual sponsors who commit to their tuition for their entire education.

Wage-earning graduates provide financial stability for their extended families who continue to live traditional nomadic pastoralist lives which are subject to extreme weather conditions in the desert including drought. As a result, there is no malnutrition in the extended families of any of our sponsorship graduates.

If you are interested in sponsoring a student please write to us at info@thorntreeproject.org
