AERC' programs address traditional and modern barriers to education. We realize our mission through various programs.

1. Educational Resources: To raise scholarship funds and provide reading and writing materials to girls. Since 2003, Kenyan children now have access to free primary education. However, secondary education remains out of reach for many girls due to lack of tuition and fees. AERC reaches out to help these exceptionally talented but needy girls providing scholarships. AERC facilitates this process by:

• Raising scholarship funds
• Identifying scholarship recipients. Scholarship Criteria; Scholarship Application form
• Disbursing scholarships directly to schools.

2. Educational Research: We raise awareness about issues affecting African girls and women in order to increase access to quality education. Visit our research page to learn more.

3. Mentoring Program: AERC's female role models and mentors inspire girls and women to pursue education. We aim to inspire others to pursue education and realize their potential. Inspire other women by becoming a mentor. Apply to be a Mentor

Unless we act now, many of the children who have made it to school may never complete their education! Support or collaborate with us on any of our programs.

Some Facts about Education in Kenya

The burden of education at the secondary (high) school level is primarily borne by parents.

School fees are keeping children out of the classroom, and many of
these are the most vulnerable children in our societies -(UN Children's Fund).
