JEYPENT Foundation seeks to empower the youth (13-20 years) in poor and rural communities.
We partner with secondary schools and other relevant stakeholders to motivate, counsel, mentor
and equip these young people holistically so that whether they are able to advance themselves in
education or not, they will lead meaningful and responsible lives

The Foundation is currently funded through 5% of the net revenue of JEYPENT Limited. We
welcome all like-minded individuals and corporates to generously contribute financially and
in-kind to this worthy cause.

Our Student Facing Approach:

• Mentoring programmes where we link boys to responsible men as “father-figures”: Each
  man then undertakes a structured mentorship programme for 6 weeks with up to 3 boys at
  their time and place of convenience and then a life-long relationship begins with periodic
  progress reports being provided in monitoring and evaluation sessions.
• Provision of Sanitary pads to needy girls in various schools: Would you still believe that
  so many girls miss school for several days every month because of these very basic
  necessities? A small pack of sanitary pads given to them discreetly by a teacher/lady the
  students trust, goes a long way in keeping them in school.
• Quarterly Sponsored Weekend Challenges/Events: Topical Issues & Spiritual Nurture.
  These young people especially in day schools get an opportunity to show case their
  talents, receive motivation and counsel from experienced facilitators and also interact
  with some of their sponsors and mentors.
• Financial Sponsorship to needy students: Although education has been highly subsidized,
  there are still some charges like lunch that are still levied by many day schools. These
  charges are normally up to Kshs. 5,000 per term. This is where we come in because some
  parents are unable to raise even this amount that may appear quite affordable.
• Reading Materials: We provide specific young people with books and other inspirational
  literature.

We have however noticed the need to address the parents’ and teachers’ gaps as well. This will
be done through our envisioned Parent and Teacher Facing Approach.

Our Parent/Guardian and Teacher/Mentor Facing Approach:

• The Secondary School CU Patrons Programme: We will equip them with skills and tools
  to coach, mentor and nurture cases of especially boys (students) from single-parents
  families
• The community mentors Programme: These are volunteers who will be trained on how to
  work with children from single -parents’ families to coach, mentor and equip them for
  responsible living
• The Parent/Guardian Programme: This shall be for identified rural parents. We will equip
  them for specific children in handling the 13-20 age groups.
