CES Canada is involved in 25 secondary schools in a rural area of Western Province KENYA covering 1600 sq km.  Each school has its own unique characteristics, gifted students and teachers committed to the success of all students.  In Kenya education is truly valued and considered to be of great worth, for it is in the completion of secondary school that a young person has a chance at a decent future.  Youth that have been affected or orphaned by the HIV/Aids pandemic seldom have this opportunity.  CES Canada is dedicated to help some of these bright young people to attend school.  The following schools are associated through CES Kenya with CES Canada.
