Community Education Services (CES) Canada is a non-profit humanitarian organization dedicated to providing access to education for orphans and other HIV / Aids affected children living in Kenya. It provides support for 15 secondary schools and 60 students in the Lurambi District of Kakamega, Kenya.

The four foundation cornerstones of CES Canada are EDUCATION, WATER, HEALTHCARE and ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.


Charity History:

CES Kenya was established in 2004. It was founded by local business, government, education and other community leaders who decided to do something about the HIV/Aids pandemic.

CES Canada works in partnership with Canadian NGO ACCES and Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology to provide educational services and support for students.

Further Information:

In 2006 CES honoured its first graduate. Benjamin Wafula is now completing his teacher training at Tambach College. Benjamin's life has been changed through CES. His success will influence others orphaned or affected by the HIV/Aids pandemic.

In 2007 the Youth Volunteer Program was established. Two university students volunteered their services as mentors and teaching assistants.

In 2008 CES delivered anti-malaria mosquito nets to all sponsored students. In addition, and in partnership with Green Solutions North America, a 20 ton 40ft container filled with education supplies and furniture was sent to Kakamega.

2009 marks the third year of professional development conferences for teachers in the area of Curriculum Development for HIV/Aids and Healthy Living.

2009 Youth Volunteers Program continues as two university grads spend three months in the CES Kenya family of schools.
