ABIGAEL JEPLETING KIROREI EDUCATION FOUNDATION registered in 2024 to address the needs of the vulnerable and poor people in five counties in Kenya namely Mombasa, Kenya. Poverty in Kenya has increased tremendously over the last decade with more children unable to access basic education, parents unable to feed their children, the youth unable to get jobs leading to youth and young children taking drugs, early pregnancies among young girls and increment of street children and street families.
With joblessness among the youth skyrocketing, more children are unable to progress with their education. Families are struggling with treating their sick ones. Considering the impact of HIV/AIDs infections and deaths which led to millions of orphans and thousands of child led homes. Adolescents are in charge of bringing up their little sisters and brothers. Not forgetting the recent impact of Covid19 on the poor populations. It was because of the above challenges on Kenyans that caused Mr. & Mrs. Rotich to start the Abigael Jepleting Kirorei Education Foundation.
