YEF will finance education using profits from YEF operated farms. Profits will be used to fund elementary and high school tuition fees for orphans. Tuition fees directed towards a particular student are dependent upon that student’s participation in the program, and will be paid at the beginning of each semester. Each YEF student will be required to maintain a pre-determined level of academic achievement as outlined by the YEF board of directors. Beyond this, students will be expected throughout their tenure in our program to attend once weekly a YEF designed educational course taught at their attending school teaching career planning, basic business skills and community development. The purpose of the YEF educational course is to allow students to learn the steps needed to achieve their dreams following their completion of high school, while ingraining the importance of contributing to the development of their own community in their adult years.

Koinonia Education Centre is a school dedicated to providing a comprehensive and holistic education for the children in Kenya, Maai Mahiu and its surroundings. Our journey began in the Kibagare slums, west of Nairobi in 2003. In this overcrowded area and similarly in many rural towns of Kenya, devoid of basic amenities, children face harsh realities like crime, abuse, and a lack of educational opportunities. Founded in 2003 as a kindergarten for underprivileged children in Kibagare, Koinonia Education Centre grew alongside its students, becoming what it is today. To accommodate the increasing demand for space and classrooms, we relocated to Maai Mahiu in 2020, continuing our mission to serve the community's children.
