Franciscan Girls’ Education Fund

Program: Children's Rights

The Franciscan Girls’ Education Fund is a NGO in Kenya run by Father Benedict Ayodi, who works to provide sustainable opportunity to girl orphan children in Kenya. We interviewed Father Benedict to hear about the importance of giving these girls attention, and the meaning of education in their lives.

If you have any questions or would like to help these girls with a donation, please contact us atequityforchildren@newschool.edu
