Somesha Kike
- Studies show that those with a high school diploma have access to more opportunities than those who don’t this is particularly true for women in Kenya.
- According to Nation Newsplex report of 2015, only 2 out of 5 students reach form 4. Statistics show that students that drop out of school miss out on training and educational opportunities that require at least a secondary school certificate. Therefore, they are likely to earn less in their lifetime, reducing them to low-income jobs and low living standards. This outcome is even heavier when it comes to women.
- In Kenya, 50% of women do not graduate from high school. Many due to issues such as early childbirth, forced marriages, poverty, and the fact that women are not as valued to receive education in most cultures in Kenya as men are.
- Inua Kike’s Somesha Kike program seeks to support motivated women who were not able to sit for and pass their KCSE, with test preparation, social guidance, and a community to successfully receive their papers and use that as a foundation for social mobility to every woman who is ready to learn
Objectives
- Provide a channel for women to gain necessary papers to enter higher education
- Aid with academic and financial support to see women through entire process of sitting for and successfully completing Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE)
- Support women from underprivileged backgrounds to obtain social and economical mobility.
