Aiducation is a non-profit organization dedicated to giving students access to education. We make
it possible for people to award merit-based high-school scholarships to bright and needy students in
developing countries (our current focus is on Kenya). People who create scholarships are called "AiduMakers" and they select the students who inspire them and create their own titles for their scholarships. Our one-to-one principle ensures AiduMakers have transparency to how their students perform (called AiduFellows) and we provide AiduMakers with regular performance reports during the four years of the scholarships. We mentor the AiduFellows through their high-school education by providing leadership academies and fostering their drive to be community leaders. We believe in the power of education to make an impact in societies and therefore at least 90% of scholarship donations are used for school fees. Operational and project costs are minimized and covered through voluntary work and corporate partnerships.

Founded in 2007 by members of Kenya’s civil society, Aiducation has already been awarded numerous prizes and is run by volunteers with chapters in Germany, Kenya, Switzerland, and the UK. Donations in most of these countries are tax-deductible.
