Selection of up to 65 new TaC beneficiaries ongoing right now. All applicants are interviewed and transparently ranked against academic, social and economic indicators. Unannounced home visits of those shortlisted are carried out by our volunteers to verify the obtained information.

The demand for our bursaries is bigger than ever. Young talents come from far, most of them partial or total orphans, accompanied by their guardians, teachers and sometimes well-wishers.

A scholarship by TaC covers three years of secondary school tuition, uniform, books and a modest pocket money. Message us if you wish to support a talent in Western Kenya.
Education for life!

Every year, the beneficiaries and volunteers of Teach a Child Africa gather for 3-4 days at the end of December to check on everyone’s wellbeing, to encourage peer exchange and to openly discuss important topics for schoolgoing teens. The TaC family is getting stronger every year!
We thank our loyal supporters who make this possible! This year, we were even able to provide new laptops to those graduates who made it to university after secondary school.

We cordially congratulate Simon upon his graduation! He shares his story with us:

"Hello TAC Family! I am Owino Simon Oduor, born and raised in Ugenya. I lost my mother at the age of 4 and was then taken in by my old grandfather. I remember that I had to sell charcoal to earn some money. Nevertheless, I started my education at Bar Odar Primary School. My primary school journey was greatly influenced by the headteacher at the time, Mr. Owuor Joshua. He gave me hope when things at home were almost falling apart.
When I reached class seven, he adopted me and hosted me at his home due to the challenges I was facing at home. With his support, I completed my primary education scoring 354 marks.

The most challenging moment came after my exams. My marks allowed me to proceed to secondary school, and I had an invitation letter by Sega Township Secondary School. However, Mr. Owuor insisted that I should attend a better school and one that offers boarding. The big question was how to finance that.

Thanks to his network, Mr. Owuor knew about the TAC Sponsorship Program. I attended the TAC interview and was indeed selected. TAC's support was comprehensive and came at the perfect time: TAC arranged for my admission to the excellent Kanga High School in 2015, where I studied without any financial constraints or disruption. After 4 years, I managed to score a B+ in my secondary school exams in 2018.

In 2019, I was called to join Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT), where I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Instrumentation and Control. I studied for four years and graduated successfully on 28th June 2024. Thank you, TAC, for being the main supporter during my academic journey! God bless TAC."
