According to an article on zoetalentsolutions.com, less than 25 percent of Kenyans progress to secondary school due to the prohibitive costs of education. Although the Kenyan government funds primary education for all children (grades 1-3), the financial burden of continuing education falls on the parents. With one in three Kenyans living below the international poverty line, affording further education is a significant challenge for many families. Orphans, who lack parental support, are particularly disadvantaged. This underscores the crucial role of nonprofits like Mercy and Grace Kenya Orphaned, which strive to enhance the future prospects of orphaned children by providing them with the education they desperately need.![IMAG0095](https://graceandmercyorphanage.org/hs-fs/hubfs/IMAG0095.jpg?width=302&height=201&name=IMAG0095.jpg)
