CASE OF SUPPORT

Many youths aim to complete tertiary education as health workers at KSIM, but their guardians do not have the financial resources to pay the school fees.  

In the past, students from marginalized backgrounds were sponsored to become Health Workers. This concept has shown no sustainability for the College. The goal for the college is to be financially self-sustainable in the long term.  

SOLUTION

Thanks to the 4Kenya Education Fund our first 60 students have graduated in August 2025. As per January 2025 we have enrolled the second lot of 60 students making the current total number of beneficiaries 120.

The 4Kenya Revolving Fund aims to provide tuition fees and boarding costs over three years. As the repayments are revolving, the fund can support continuously students. 

Pay it Forward in a nutshell

How does it work? 

• The 4Kenya Education Fund (4KEF) is a revolving fund, it’s a cycle 
• The start of the revolving fund is a financial injection for the fund from donors (1). We started fundraising in 2018, but due to Covid19 we paused fundraising and transferred the funds to HELB Fund Management 
• Donations are going over the 4KENYA Trust (2) to HELB Fund Manager (3) 
• KSIM (4) provides 4KEF Students recruitment, education, accommodation and food 
• Repayments will be made after the students have graduated and are earning an income in the labour market (6) thanks to career training, coaching and job placement with the help of the KSIM Career Training Centre (5) 
• As students repay their loans from 2026 onwards, the fund is replenished again and again enabling multiple student batches to be educated in future years 
• From 2025 to 2027, further funding is needed to maintain and enlarge the cycle from 2028 onwards the 4KEF will be self-sustainable 

We are looking for sponsors who believe in our “Pay it Forward” philosophy. Each donation will finance not one batch of students, but as the Fund revolves, will contribute to the education and employment of a large number of students for decades.
