Township Foundation Education Center

TFEC is a registered community-based organization in Rangwe Kenya. It is a children’s education center where Kenyan children are guided and mentored by people who know their stories, have shared life experiences, and are best able to help them flourish and grow through education. Charles and Gonzag Odera , the founders of TFEC, saw their blessings and were grateful for the bounty the Universe had given them, but when they looked around them they saw desperate children in need. As caring and compassionate people they could not ignore the plight of the vulnerable and destitute children of their rural home. Many of the children in their area are neglected, abandoned or orphaned. These sad circumstances allow them to fall through the cracks of the education system and fail to get vital, basic education. Answering the call in their hearts, the school was created through Charles and Gonzag’s own hard work, dedication and finances. (read more about our story by clicking the links) TFEC is a small institution offering key educational resources and humanitarian care for local poverty-stricken children. Not only are the children fed and educated, but they learn the value of a family in which they are loved, validated and nurtured through their formative years. This helps them to grow and become the best version of themselves, and by raising an educated, happy and healthy youth we allow for the growth and advancement of the entire community. The school currently has an enrollment of over 430 students and many more are expected to arrive. The children of this world are our future. It is often children that come from hardship who will grow to become great humanitarians and change makers. We can help each child live to their fullest potential by giving just a little, and with each seed we plant, together we will build a forest. As a society we need to breathe life into the future, change lives, and change the world. It is our heartfelt promise that we will help every child we can, but we cannot do it alone. We need your help.
