Tackling Child Labour through Education in Kenya
The Federation of Kenyan Employers (FKE) - in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the European Union (EU) – implemented a programme on “Tackling Child Labour through Education” where adopting a school was one of the key innovative strategies. The “Adopt a school” process is to involve the private sector in supporting Educational Programmes to improve access, equity and transition rate.
The Federation of Kenyan Employers has teamed up with the ILO and development partners in programmes and projects aimed at uplifting child education and welfare; notably elimination of child labour and mitigation of HIV/AIDS at workplaces. This has enabled many children to go back to school and has given support to parents in socio-economic activities.
