In rural Kenya, an 8th-grade education was once an advantage in a largely uneducated community. Today, students need to go further with their schooling or learn a trade in a technical school to escape the cycles of poverty.

 

Education costs include tuition, uniforms, books, pens and pencils, transportation, and meal costs, tutoring, and library access. Here is what it costs, in Canadian dollars equivalent, to send a student to school in rural Kenya in 2022.
