This in turn has helped the Kenyan economy since the graduants are able to support themselves and improve the communities in which they live in and thus increases the economic growth in Kenya.


Despite the fact that some miss the chances to get sponsorship due to the large numbers,this a little step that is significant in the long run.
In conclusion,educational sponsorship for students is a way of improving the Kenya's future generation in the long run and ensuring that no Kenyan child has to suffer the consequence of illiteracy.
