About Us
The Inzeku Education Foundation is based in the remote village of Irechelo, in Kakamega County, Kenya. It was created to provide basic necessities to children living in poverty, with the larger goal of providing for their education. The basic necessities we provide include uniforms, school fees, books, funds for medical expenses, and most importantly, food. Most of the children we help are orphans.
The idea was conceived over dinner with a group of friends from Italy in 2016. These friends sponsored the first seven children in December of 2016. The foundation’s work officially started the following month. As of June 2023, we were granted our 501(c)3 tax exempt status. We now have 13 all volunteer Board members who donate their time, for many aspects of the foundation to support the team in Kenya. We up to supporting a total of 60 children within the foundation.
