PARTNER WITH US TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Riley Orton Foundation (ROF) provides holistic education and promotes gender equality in STEM education to ensure girls and a community with the agency to realize their full potential.
Through our AKILI STEMart academy we promote gender equality in education by supporting both boys and girls to improve and grow interest in science,technology, engineering and mathematics by engaging them in practical STEM fields which historically have been male dominated.
We have a mission to alleviate poverty among marginalized girls and communities in Kenya through an integrated and coordinated approach that addresses holistic education, health, economic empowerment and life skills education to provide beneficiaries the agency to make sustainable changes for self- sufficiency. We then hope to inspire rural girls to take up STEM careers in order to reduce the gender and skills gap in STEM, increase employment of women and spur economic growth.

Sponsorship

Our sponsorship program enables marginalized rural girls to access quality high school education and leadership skills to give them the agency to be the next generation of women leaders in Kenya and beyond. Partnering with individuals around the world to sponsor the girls is a powerful way to ensure that these girls can stay in school and realize their fullest potential.
