The Verkaart Foundation Kenya has her focus on 2 groups of youngsters.
1.) The education of less fortunate young women.
Still a lot of youngsters can’t pay for secondary boarding school and for proper education that’s preferred. Without this education young women are mend to follow their parents and won’t have many changes in live to become more successful. By education in a boarding school young women are safe, won’t be married and won’t have kids at a young age. They get community sense, are aware that small families are better manageable, raise the next generation in a better way and might end up as strong and (financial) independent women.
2.) The education of physically and mentally challenged youngsters
The Foundation also puts a lot of effort in the school for the physically and mentally challenged. Nowadays it’s more common that parents are not longer ashamed of having disabled children. That’s why more children attend this school and the school is expanding. But because the government doesn’t cover the whole field that’s needed for proper care for these vulnerable, support is still needed. Because of the long time support by the Foundation, this school is considered the best in the region.
