Organization: Kakenya Center For Excellence
Mission: Through education, community engagement and advocacy, Kakenyas Dream transforms the lives of vulnerable girls in the Transmara region of Kenya, and in the process, transforms the communities in which they live. (See Continuation on Schedule O).
Activities: Centers for Excellence: Our boarding schools, the Kakenya Centers for Excellence (KCE I and II) currently serve 280 girls in grades 4-11 in a safe, supportive environment. See Schedule O page for a detailed description of this program service.

We support girls who have graduated from our primary boarding school as they continue to high school and tertiary education through our Network for Excellence program. See Schedule O for a detailed description of this program service.
Health and Leadership Training Program: Our unique training program is designed to empower adolescents by providing critical information at a time when they are at risk of undergoing FGM and being forced into an early marriage. See Schedule O for a detailed description of this program service.
