Welcome

Nine tenths of education is encouragement. — Anatole France

The Dobbyn Foundation, Inc. strives to create change for a more equitable world through the powerful tool of education. 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. We accomplish this through our main objective to raise and distribute money that will enable the children of East Africa to achieve a secondary education.

Due to current global initiatives throughout East Africa ensuring children have a right to universal primary education, the topic of secondary education has often been neglected by 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 make a unique difference with your donation by creating access to further education, which is vital for the development of each child and their community.

The Dobbyn Foundation Board of Directors fundamentally believes that education is a basic human right which everyone should have the opportunity to access, regardless of nationality, age, religion or ethnicity. In this belief, the board is an all volunteer board that does not receive any compensation so that more of your support can go directly to the children we work with.
