Kenya Society for Academic Advancement KSAA was founded by a group of concerned Kenyans residing in Minneapolis Minnesota to provide educational assistance to needy and underprivileged Kenyan children. With the high prevalence of HIVAIDS and extreme cases of poverty in Kenya a large number of Kenyan children are orphaned and in most cases the children with either one or both parents lack the financial support for schooling. As a result of this a majority of these children have been left to fend for themselves and lack adequate familial support systems and have had to turn to wellwishers and charitable organizations for assistance. Without such support these children often grow up to be destitute and illiterate.
