About This Cause

ACCES exists to provide young Africans with the education and tools necessary to benefit themselves and their society. Not only do the direct beneficiaries benefit, but so does their society - specifically, their communities. This is the key to the success of ACCES. The mission of ACCES, to alleviate poverty through education, is founded on the following principles: 1) Respect for Another Culture: ACCES will not seek to impose Canadian cultural values in other countries. 2) Sustainability: ACCES strives to help other people to help themselves. 3) Gender Equality: ACCES programs provide equal opportunity to people regardless of gender. 4) Efficient Administration: 100% of donations to ACCES for its programs are used for those programs. Funds for administration are raised by the ACCES Board through other means. About This Cause The African Canadian Continuing Education Society (ACCES) is a registered charity that has provided scholarships to underprivileged Post Secondary students in Kenya since 1993. What does ACCES do? Your donations allow ACCES to provide university and technical school scholarships to promising and impoverished students in Kenya. In alignment with our long term vision for Kenyanization. ACCES has gifted schools to the government and transferred programs of support to local organizations and now focuses all of its resources on sponsoring needy and capable students to pursue post secondary education through scholarships. Message from donors - "It has been both a pleasure and very gratifying to support ACCES Kenya with monthly donations. Knowing that our donations have sponsored scholarships for students to pursue educational goals is important to us. Over the years, seeing graduates return to take leadership roles in the ACCES organization has reaffirmed our belief that education is essential to help people out of poverty and contribute to the development of their communities." - Burt and Lana, ACCES donors since 2006 Please consider becoming an ACCES donor.
