About Us
Friends of Dagoretti Children (FDC) is a Kenya registered charitable society run by volunteers, assisting bright but disadvantaged young people, largely from the Dagoretti area of Nairobi, to attain secondary and tertiary education.
We are endeavouring to change the future for
these young people.
FDC has no
religious or political affiliations.
How We Help
We have 61 young people on our programme – both boys and girls – who
achieved 300 or more marks in their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education exams. We ensure their school fees are paid and pay their basic term-time expenses.
Each year, when we take on new children, part of our selection process involves
assessing how their families can also contribute.
Our aim is to help each beneficiary gain the tools to earn a living. We do not promise to find them employment. However, we do work hard to find them
internships or work experience.
It is not only the 61 children who benefit – we see the positive ripple effect a supported child has on their family and wider community.
