Through the support of donors over the years, the ZEITZ foundation has helped grow the footprint of education in Laikipia by educating over 2000 thousand children across our local communities. We support 6 schools from Pre-Primary (Early Years Learning) to Senior Secondary School levels. Our initiatives include various projects, including the construction of new classrooms and toilet blocks, along with comprehensive renovations and repairs to enhance learning facilities. We have also donated essential learning supplies such as desks, school uniforms,  and books. A bursary program is in place to assist bright students from disadvantaged families around Segera Conservancy. We firmly believe that education is transformative and a key driver of sustainable development, even as we create a brighter future for the next generation. 

Improving the social infrastructure of education is key to facilitating better instruction, improving student outcomes, and reducing dropout rates among other benefits. One of the ZEITZ foundation’s key principles is ‘creativity’. Many ideas are based on a new and innovative way of thinking, such as the ‘Water Bank School’ which won the ‘LEED Greenest School in the World Award’ in 2017. The Water Bank Building at the Uaso Nyiro Primary school features four full-sized classrooms and a unique underground storage with integrated water filtration to address the water needs of the students.

You can support the Education Program by donating to: 

• The education of a child. A donation will cover their uniform, school supplies, food and other costs associated with the boarding facility. Tuition costs at public high schools in Kenya are fully covered by the government. We encourage supporters to commit to the entire six years of a child’s high school education. 
• School infrastructure development that will benefit numerous students. These facilities include classrooms, ablution blocks, boarding houses, laboratories, libraries, Information technology centres and teacher’s housing. 
• Equipping classrooms and other facilities. 
• The acquisition of school supplies such as uniforms, books, and stationery.
