Our Story
In the heart of Kisumu County, a small village in Kasule, a simple, powerful belief took root: education can break the cycle of poverty. This was the seed from which Kasule Tuelimishe Vijana (TUVI) grew in 2019.
We began by providing sanitary towels to needy girls, helping teen girls and children return to the classroom, but we soon realised that there was more to be done, to achieve the SDG 4 goal of Quality education for all. A girl needed support to stay in school. A teacher needed new skills for the digital age, and a community needed to understand the value of education. So, our mission, comprehensive and all-encompassing, grew to address these needs.
Today, we foster continuous learning in formal education and skill development among children and young people. We have successfully provided school supplies and run book clubs that have sparked a love of reading among students. We have offered sports to teach leadership and health to young boys, and mentored young people in vocational training. We plan to collaborate with teachers and parents, and continue to train young climate champions, all with a significant impact.
Our vision is a future where every child, regardless of their background, has the skills and knowledge to thrive. We invite you to join our story, to be part of this inclusive community. Together, we can inspire, empower, and educate for a better tomorrow.
