Background

In Kenya and the Philippines, many talented young people are unable to complete high school each year because they cannot afford the school fees. Although they are among the best in their class, they are denied access to further education – and thus a way out of poverty. This untapped potential is a great loss – for the young people themselves and for their society.

Idea

Aiducation International awards high school scholarships to talented and disadvantaged young people. With a direct 1:1 scholarship over four years, young talents are given the opportunity to complete their education, go to university and realise their dreams – such as becoming a doctor, starting a business or inspiring the next generation as a teacher. Supporters not only enable individual educational success, but also sustainable social change: alumni give back their knowledge and commitment and strengthen their home countries.

Implementation

All scholarship recipients undergo a rigorous selection process: only those who are among the top 10% of their year group, come from a financially disadvantaged family and demonstrate a high level of commitment are accepted. A young person receives CHF 3,520 in support for their entire high school education. Depending on the current situation, the scholarship is awarded in Kenya or the Philippines – wherever the support is most urgently needed at the time. Since 2007, we have already awarded 3,000 scholarships; many of our alumni are now studying successfully, founding companies and actively contributing to a resilient society.
