2.    Elim Primary School, Nairobi, Kenya, has over 230 students

School Fees

In the United States public school attendance is free for all.  In Kenya, public schools cost per student on average $600 USD to $1000 USD per term for secondary school (include room and board). Kenyan primary schools average cost range from $200 USD to $400 USD per student. The Kenyan parents must also pay for school uniforms, books, all supplies, PE kit shoes, and a lockable box or trunk for students in secondary school.  Parents living in poverty, on less than $1 USD per day cannot afford public school for their children.  You can Sponsor a student to change that!
