education fund

Founded by Jessica Peyla Nagtalon in May 2012 in partnership with the Kenya-based Centre for African Bio-Entrepreneurship (CABE) at Busijo Secondary School. Born in response to a community’s plea to promote ‘girl-child’ education, NEF’s mission is to enhance learning conditions and improve access to education for youth so that they can positively shape their futures. 

We envision a world that values education for all, where educating youth is a shared responsibility so that each and every one of them may live to their fullest potential.

With generous support from sponsors in the United States and Europe, NEF operates a comprehensive sponsorship program for girls and boys at two community-initiated secondary schools in Busia County, Kenya near Lake Victoria. NEF offers scholarships, new uniforms, shoes, books, solar lanterns, feminine supplies, mentorship, and training to empower disadvantaged youth. Our program builds self-esteem, healthy values/habits, leadership skills, a strong work ethic, a sense of community and valuable livelihood skills. NEF works closely with school administrators, teachers, and parents to provide a conducive and safe learning environment, customizing support services to achieve greater impact.
