Secondary School Scholarships

Encouraging the Best

The Secondary School Scholarships programme was created to give all children graduating from WYCF primary schools a fair chance in continuing to pursue an education and enhance their life opportunities.

Before the creation of the Secondary School Scholarship program, only 3- 5% of WYCF students successfully followed through to secondary schools. Since the inception of the Scholarship program, 79% of WYCF students continued to secondary school.


Secondary School Scholarships are only possible with your help

The Challenges

– Before the creation of the Secondary School Scholarship program, only 3 – 5% of WYCF students successfully followed through to secondary school; 

– Prohibitive costs related to secondary school enrollment and attendance; 

– School dropouts in favour of engaging in petty trading or other forms of increasing family incomes

Our Solution

– Ensure every child takes their entry exams; 

– Build relationships with local secondary schools; 

– Provide a subsidy that covers the student’s fees, uniform and learning materials for the school year; 

– Send the children to school and carefully monitor their attendance and progress.

The Outcomes

– 242 students – 153 girls, 89 boys – have benefited form this project since its inception;

– The percentage of WYCF students who continue through to secondary schools rose to 79%.
