No child left behind

No Child Left Behind is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Kenya, committed to empowering children through education. Our primary mission is to provide financial assistance and resources that ensure every child in Kenya can access quality education. Recognizing education as a key driver for breaking the cycle of poverty, we address the systemic barriers that prevent children from attending school, including poverty, lack of resources, and social inequalities.
