“Since schools are tuition based, students living in areas of poverty would not be able to attend school without financial assistance. Through the Roskern Foundation, individual and business sponsors from across the world choose a student or students to sponsor and enable them to attend school through graduation. Many are the first in their family to graduate.”
Roskern Educational Centre
Our goal is to ground our students in God’s word and challenge them to achieve academic excellence as they prepare to use their gifts and abilities effectively to follow God’s plans for their lives. The Roskern Foundation wants to ensure that our students are not among the 33% that don’t go beyond primary school.
Tuition Sponsorships
Only 14% of the population in Nairobi finishes high school. Through tuition scholarships, the Roskern Foundation is trying to increase that number. Tuition scholarships are available for children of any age, but the greatest need is for high school students because the fees are much higher. Families living in severe poverty cannot afford to pay these fees and buy the required school supplies. Receiving an education is critical because it is the only hope these children have of escaping a life of poverty and realizing their God given potential.
