Poverty Rate in Kenya

In Kenya, there are approximately 16.4 million people living their daily lives below the poverty line. Poverty in Kenya has been on the decline in the last decade due to its growing economy and more government investments in infrastructure and social needs. However, 46 percent of the nation’s population is still far too high of a percentage to be living below the poverty line because poverty impacts all aspects of daily life. WOAN’s primary goal is to serve the poorest of the poor and transform the lives of the poor both mentally and emotionally.

Causes of Poverty in Kenya

One of the biggest causes of poverty in this nation is the lack of education in Kenya. There isn’t enough funding for schools and too few youth mentors to guide young students. Another cause of poverty in Kenya is lack of good housing, which is why international aid in the form of home-building is beneficial. Income inequality, the spread of HIV and AIDS, poor water sanitation, and lack of access to health care also contribute to the poverty rate in Kenya. Inequality in all forms, from child mortality to gender outcomes and governance all take a toll on Kenyans struggling to get by every day.

How Poverty Affects Education in Kenya

Poverty impacts education in Kenya more than in many other places around the world. Children need education to grow personally and help their families rise out of poverty. When families can educate their children and overcome poverty, the whole community and all of God’s children benefit. WOAN believe that all children deserve a quality education, regardless of where they live or what family they come from. WOAN is a firm believer that education brings hope for the future and a path for a better life!
