Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility. Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries cannot succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.
Our child development Centre understands a rooted education produces successful generations and that is why the FCP leadership is very concerned about the education of the supported program participants.
All primary going children who are supported by our FCP have been schooling at our church-based academy since 2015 and through this initiative of bringing them together; we have seen a lot of positive impacts. We had 15 program participants who did KCPE 2023 and the highest had 387 marks and lowest 296. Out of 15 candidates from our FCP 14 scored more than 300 marks. They recorded a mean score of 353.40 marks having improved from 329.24 marks
