Founded in September 2007 by a group of high school students who shared a belief in the power of education, EACEF (East African Children’s Education Fund) utilizes a holistic, community-based approach to address educational inequity in East Africa while engaging the next generation of leaders to take up social causes.
Linking young people across continents, EACEF is both youth-focused and youth-driven and operates as a 501(c)3 registered public charity. With project locations across Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda, EACEF has successfully invested over a quarter million dollars in educational infrastructure and programming.
In the United States, EACEF provides a replicable model for aspiring youth to get involved with social action through its GenerAction Initiative. Partnering with distinguished organizations and corporations in all fields, EACEF seeks to make opportunity through education a reality in East Africa.
