Kenya Scholarship Fund Awards 17 Scholarships to Two Nairobi Schools
KSF is headquartered in Houston, Texas with an operations branch office in Nairobi, Kenya. The Organization provides scholarships to academically gifted Kenyan students who would otherwise not be able to successfully pursue a High School Education and realize their full potential as talented human beings. The scholarships cover the complete cost of school fees for the award recipients. After its inception in 2007, KSF has awarded annual scholarships to needy boy students attending Lenana School and Ofafa Jericho.

In 2008, KSF expanded its operations to include a girls' chapter and launched a highly successful series of fund raising events in Houston throughout 2009. As a result twelve scholarships were awarded to Uthiru Girls' High School and five to Starehe Girls' Center in May and July 2009 respectively.
