EnglishWhat Education Programs Does Expanding Opportunities Run in Kenya?
Updated
Expanding Opportunities runs two named education programs in Kenya — STEMS and Gordon Clem Scholars — under a broader Education Support Programs umbrella. Both are designed to help children in low-income, rural, or low-resource settings, with particular attention to girls, who the organization says "continue to suffer undereducation and neglect." The stated goal is to prepare young people to "live on their own, act with integrity, and fully experience the world around them."
The two Kenya programs
| Program | What it is | Who it targets |
|---|---|---|
| STEMS | Part of the organization's expanded Education Support Programs in Kenya | Children in low-income, rural, or low-resource settings |
| Gordon Clem Scholars | A scholarship program within the same Education Support Programs | Selected children, with sponsorship support |
The site describes these as an expansion of its Kenya work, framed as a response to "a global educational system increasingly in crisis."
Girl child education
A stated priority is encouraging girl child education to "provide options for their future." This is presented as a response to the undereducation and neglect the organization says girls continue to face.
Child sponsorship
Expanding Opportunities makes a "Special Appeal" for sponsors at any level to fund the education of selected children. The site describes a Child Sponsorship Opportunity and mentions both one-time and ongoing ("most in need") donations. PayPal appears as a payment platform on the site.
Beyond Kenya: impact consulting
The organization also offers impact consulting that "prepares nonprofits and NGOs for strategic impacts." This is a separate service line from the Kenya education programs, aimed at strengthening other organizations' work rather than directly funding students.
What to check before getting involved
- Program specifics — the site names STEMS and Gordon Clem Scholars but does not publish detailed eligibility criteria, cohort sizes, or selection processes on the pages available here. If you need those details, contact the organization directly.
- Sponsorship terms — the appeal mentions sponsors "at any level" and one-time or need-based donations, but specific sponsorship amounts and commitments are not stated in the available material.
- Currency of information — blog posts and updates span multiple years (2014 through 2022, with a February 2026 archive entry), so confirm current program status before acting.
