Kilele Junior Foundation

Where we take children more personally

Kilele Junior Foundation, a registered local NGO in Kenya has been dream come true both for its directors and the residents of Komarock and Kayole because it continues to successfully run a primary school and prepare children for the future.

Many youths in the estate have for a long time engaged in drug abuse, crime, rape, HIV/AIDS spread and other social vices due to the acute economic imbalances paving way for high rates of unemployment and poverty levels. It is on the basis of this background that Kilele Junior foundation has found it necessary to engage and lift children and up coming youth from the yoke of illiteracy idleness and poverty through its quality education.
