Only 50% in High Schools
In Kenya, all eighth graders take a national high school entrance exam and only 50% of the children qualify to go to high school. That is approximately 500,000 children that don't go to high school.
HOPE FOR THE CHILDREN
Education is critical to the future of all children, but especially to those who are orphaned or vulnerable. Education gives children hope for life and work, and is a strong protector against HIV to which these children may be particularly susceptible. It is essential that high quality education is accessible to all. (UNICEF, 2009)

Orphaned Children
