CES Canada’s mission is primarily to secondary school youth orphaned by the HIV/Aids pandemic. From time to time there are CES Graduates who have achieved high marks in the KCSE and who have been admitted toi college or university. The partnership between CES Canada and ACCES provides some limited funding for our students. In addition, CES encourages students to provide some of their own funds. CES Canada then provides a little extra so the student does not lose out on a golden opportunity for post-secondary education.
The following five students have been supported in their post secondary school studies by CES Canada:
