CES Team
CES Canada is a group of passionate and dedicated problem solvers working to make a difference for marginalized Kenyan youth in rural Western Kenya.
The CES Team operates from two offices, located in Canada and Kenya. Those working with CES do so on a volunteer basis, donating their time and financial resources to keep the program running strong.
Our Kenya office in Kakamega is staffed by a number of highly skilled, retired Kenyan professionals who are looking to give back to their home communities. CES Kenya carries out the initiatives developed by CES Canada. Canadian staff come from a variety of backgrounds, some being retired professionals while others support the program in their free time. CES Canada creates awareness of and subsequent fundraising for programs in Kenya.
The common element that unites our volunteers is a desire to make a difference for promising students who need a little help to realize their dreams. We do this work with the highest standards of accountability, dedication, and respect.
