Introduction
Empower the World Foundation (EWF) is a registered Non-Governmental Organization aimed at empowering orphans and vulnerable children with education through provision of scholarship in secondary school, college and university.
It is located at Naivasha town, Lancaster House 1st Floor Room B23. It serves three counties namely; Nakuru, Narok, and Baringo.
It started as a primitive idea in January 2012 as an informal chat between friends to start an international foundation which will promote and encourage self-reliance for poor children in community to be able to identify themselves and meet their needs and participate fully in society. Education is power to those who embrace it hence we wish these destitute children could get access to secondary and university education.
EWF works towards changing the lives and future of bright children living in a desolate life of poverty through financing their education. The organization provides school requirements to enable the children have a smooth learning moment in various institutions. Many children lose hope since they cannot afford school fees to continue with higher education especially orphans and destitute children. They have no choice but to rely on generosity of well-wishers to make it possible.
EWF is working towards helping children so that the society can have a future of educated and empowered leaders from diverse economic background.
We invest in young people so they can achieve their goals in becoming great leaders.
We offer competitive, comprehensive scholarships to academically talented children from underprivileged backgrounds providing them access to the highest quality public secondary and and university education (whenever possible) available in Kenya
