Mukusu Scholarship Program provides full scholarships to deserving students in Kenya who cannot afford education because of poverty.  

Empowering Dreams, Transforming Lives.

Our mission is to empower and uplift children living in poverty in West Pokot County, Kenya by providing them with access to quality education through our scholarship program.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive regardless of their socio-economic background.

By offering financial support, mentorship, and resources, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and cultivate future leaders who will positively impact their communities and beyond.

Many children are living in poverty and struggling to get an education. 
Education is key to improving lives
and creating opportunities for people anywhere in the world.

We provide Scholarships for Education.

The purpose of the Mukusu Legacy Scholarship Program is to harness and nourish the capabilities that lie within Kenya's youth, particularly young people experiencing financial barriers to education and skills development. We do this through school scholarships and making sure that the student's personal needs are met.

Education.  We support and enable children who are unable to afford school fees, uniforms and essential supplies.

Nurturing.  Boarding the students during their school breaks, if necessary.

Health.  Care is available to students with health needs.
