Kianda Foundation is a non-profit making Educational Trust that was established on 9th January 1961. Its main objective is to promote the education and welfare of women in Kenya. It achieves its aims through the establishment and management of schools, colleges, and training centres for both women and girls, thus promoting their general education.
