Future Foundations sponsored Mapenzi after she completed primary school. Mapenzi studied at Muyeye Polytechnic College and completed a certificate in Hair Dressing and Beauty Therapy in 2019. We are delighted that Mapenzi has now set up her own hair saloon by being given a grant by another Kenyan organisation in order to buy equipment.

"Learning and my dream talent in music could be really impossible without Future Foundations support. I really say a huge thanks for Future Foundations, Lewa, Sharon Lewa, all the trustees and all the support for this charity for helping me and other young people who are in need in Malind Kenya. I promise to work hard to achieve all my dreams.".

Future Foundations paid for Julius to complete secondary school and Certificate in Business Management at college.

Future Foundations was set up to due to the high prevalence of illiteracy among young people in Kenya who cannot go to secondary school or college because of poverty. In Kenya, only primary education is free meaning that many children never get to secondary school and are likely to drop out as they cannot see a future in their education. Future Foundations raise money through donations and fundraising events in order to pay secondary school fees and college fees for young people and give them the best possible chance of a successful future.

As well as accepting direct donations, Future Foundations also engage in active fundraising campaigns and we have run a number of successful events in the past including raffles, charity runs, quiz nights and sponsored walks. If you would be interested in fundraising for Future Foundations, please contact us to find out more information.
