About Us

Keeping a Girl in School to KCS Global

Our Background

Keeping a Girl in School (KGS) is a community-led nonprofit organisation based in Kenya. Founded in 2019, our work centres on Menstrual Health Management (MHM), ensuring access to menstrual products, hygiene essentials, and basic learning materials.

We work at the intersection of education, health, and empowerment — recognising that a girl's ability to learn is deeply linked to her well-being and the community around her.

About KCS Global

KGS is expanding into Keeping a Child in School (KCS) Global, reflecting a broader and more inclusive approach that supports both boys and girls.

KCS Global addresses the key barriers that keep children out of school, including:

Limited access to menstrual health support
Inadequate WASH facilities
Educational inequalities
Inadequate mentorship and leadership opportunities for boys
Limited economic opportunities for teen and young mothers
Insufficient platforms for youth leadership and community service

Vision

To create a world where every child and young person has equal access to quality education, free from barriers that limit their ability to learn, grow, and thrive.

Mission

To empower children and communities globally by removing barriers to education through access to essential resources such as menstrual health support, WASH services, nutrition, and school fees, while providing inclusive programs in mentorship, mental health, sports, entrepreneurship, and digital literacy for both boys and girls.
