About our foundation

Education for all - Realizing Every Child's Full Potential

Since 2013, Eldama Ravine Education Foundation (EREF) has transformed lives through education scholarships. What began as sponsoring students across various schools evolved into founding Uzalendo School - our innovative model where fee-paying and fully-sponsored students learn side by side.

As a Kenyan education NGO, our foundation aims to transform education in Kenya, nurturing talents, and creating community programs and networks that empower the next generation of leaders in Africa.

"As a girl from a family that couldn't afford secondary education, joining Uzalendo School on a full scholarship opened doors I never knew existed. The foundation not only provided education but mentorship that helped me discover my leadership skills. I'm now pursuing a degree in education to help other girls like me."
