Kenya
Edify began its pilot program in Kenya in 2025.
The Need
Nationwide, less than 50% of students achieve the minimum high order proficiency level in reading.
Over 17 million children in Kenya are recovering from up to 9 months of lost learning due to COVID-19.
About 40% of students who begin grade 1 do not complete form 4 (grade 12).
36% of the Kenyan population live beneath the poverty line of $2.15/day.
