a few words about us
-
The Educational Frontier Trust (TEFT) is a UK registered charity which is supporting work amongst the pastoralist communities in Northern Kenya.
- The area is blighted by drought, banditry, ethnic clashes and a lack of infrastructure and basic public services.
-
TEFT has supported the Kisima Pastoralists' Centre (KPC) in setting up a free secondary school for girls and boys from Northern Kenya, so that they can be better equipped to contend with these harsh conditions.
TEFT and Kisima are consciously kept separate despite their common goals. This allows TEFT to hold KPC accountable for the grants and funding it receives. The trustees of TEFT meet on average ten times a year to review KPC’s budgets and expenditure, and to manage fundraising.
MISSION STATEMENT
-
TEFT funds the Kisima Mixed Secondary School in Nyahururu, Kenya, providing free, residential education for 160 children mainly from the pastoralist communities in Northern Kenya.
- The Project is Kenyan-inspired and Kenyan-led, and through education aims to help young people become more self-determining and self-sustaining.
- TEFT also funds the development of a Christian Resource Centre which will support the pastoralists of Northern Kenya. Donations are managed separately.
