We desire to bequest two things to our children — the first one is roots; the other one is wings.

—African Proverb

 

Support a scholar

Your gift covers school fees, uniforms, supplies and the everyday things students need to keep learning. Every dollar goes a long way in Kenya.

In 2025, a full year of school and programs cost about $1,613 per scholar. That’s roughly $134 a month.

3% Cover the Fee

The Ajiri Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 27-1222431. Your gift is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. You'll receive an email receipt, and you can cancel a monthly gift anytime.

Another way to give: every box of Ajiri tea funds scholars like Thomas. Shop tea →

The Ajiri Journal

Our scholars run their own website. This year they interviewed grandparents, built family trees and wrote the histories of their villages. Read their stories in their own words.

In a scholar's words

“I will forever keep the Ajiri family at heart. You have been my everything since I was a child.”

Thomas, Ajiri scholar since kindergarten, in his last year of secondary school

Thomas was three when we met him. Every box of tea and every donation helped give him the structure and support to grow up.

 
 

What We Do 

We don’t sponsor the students with the highest grades, or the ones we think have the most “potential.” Instead, we focus on each child: where they come from, and where they want to go.
