Educate your own

Educate Your Own is a student supporting student initiative with the aim to raise money to assist the needy students in school. It tries to make sure that no student drops out of school because of financial issues. They try to raise finances by having car wash sessions in schools at an affordable price and also barbeques.
They also try to go around the classes in school and try as little as ksh50 from students who are willing to contribute. Most people think that USIU-Africa is basically a school for the rich only but it’s a university with students from diverse backgrounds like any other. This club tries to make students to stay in school and pursue their majors in university.
EYO has managed to grant scholarships to 14 students in need, equaling to 25% of the student’s semester fee. This year EYO partnered with Kavash, an organization which is passionate about giving back to the society. Kavash partnered with EYO to sell bucket hats and 20% of the proceeds was donated to EYO. Their target for this year was 2 million Kenyan shillings and Kavash was committed to help them raise this amount.
