STAHILI Education
Education lies at the heart of Stahili’s work and sustainable development. We support Sustainable Development Goal 4 – Quality education for all.
Education as a right
Every child has the right to fulfil his or her potential through education. Stahili provides education support to children in Kenya, many of whom were formerly separated from their families and lived in orphanages.
Learn more about one of Stahili’s workshops as part of CNN’s #MyFreedomDay.
#MyFreedomDay has been important for kids in Kenya to “reinforce their commitment to a life in nobody’s control” https://t.co/hD9sbcgUnE
