Despite the huge progress that the Kenyan government has made economically, high levels of inequality still prevent many children from accessing a good quality education and reaching their full potential. Although there have been several successful interventions to enroll children in elementary education, poor education quality - especially in remote, rural areas - leaves learning outcomes low.

Agriculture also dominates Kenya’s economy, with 75% of working Kenyans making their living by farming. However, climate change is driving changeable and extreme weather that has a devastating impact on livelihoods, particularly for the most marginalized and vulnerable communities dependent on subsistence farming. This fluctuating income remains a significant barrier to children staying in school.
