We believe that our children are our greatest hope for a Kenya without the vast inequalities caused by poverty. LDK’s mission is to provide a quality education to the children who are most in need, equipping them not only with practical knowledge and skills, but also with the optimism, open mindedness, and drive to lift their communities out of extreme poverty.

LDK provides primary education to more than 300 students, aged 6 to 14, from the poorest neighborhoods of Nakuru, Kenya’s fourth largest city. Without LDK, these children may not attend school at all, as the government schools—while technically free—have burdensome financial requirements such as required uniforms and desks. Other schools can have100 students in a class with a single teacher, and there is little hope of receiving a quality education.

We believe that empowering these children will have a tremendous impact on the entire community. They return home after classes and share what they’ve learned with their families, which can number upwards of ten brothers and sisters. They are teaching their parents—a generation still carrying the stigma of HIV/AIDS—that it is acceptable to talk about protecting oneself, and they are leading the charge to reduce litter and other contamination of their communities. And upon completing their schooling, these students are equipped for successful careers that will enable them to support their families, fostering another generation of education and contributing to breaking the cycle of poverty in Kenya.
