WELCOME


The main objective of the Dobbyn Foundation, Inc. is to raise and distribute money enabling children to achieve a secondary education in East Africa. The organization's primary purpose is to make secondary education possible for African children, who would normally be marginalized from proper schooling due to repressive school fees.

Due to current global initiatives throughout East Africa to ensure children have a right to universal primary education, the topic of secondary education has been left off all of the local and international policies and agendas.

As a direct result, hundreds of thousands of children have no opportunity to continue their education at the secondary school level. Thus the majority of people within East Africa are left with a basic primary school education throughout their entire life. This is where the Dobbyn Foundation will be able make a difference with your donation.

Due to our many donors and supporters within this last year, the Dobbyn Foundation is pleased to announce that we are currently supporting the secondary education of four children. These children will have all four years of their secondary school fees paid by the Dobbyn Foundation. To find out more and see the scholars photos, please visit our 'School Fees' page.
