COMMUNITY PARTNER INFORMATION:
Organization:
Canada Mathare Education Trust (CME Trust)
Description:
Founded in 2006, the Canada Mathare Education Trust (CMETrust) is an entirely volunteer-run, registered Canadian charity whose mission is to advance education in Kenya by providing secondary school scholarships, with funds raised annually, to students from Mathare Valley Slum, Nairobi; and, to raise awareness in Canada about education and poverty in urban Kenya. CMETrust has provided 58 scholarships in the past five years, is currently supporting 45 scholars in high school, and has 13 alumni who have graduated from secondary school. One of CMETrust's medium-term goals is to increase our presence on Canadian university campuses, in order to raise awareness about our organization, attract new volunteers and fundraise. We would like to build on the success of our first pilot university chapter at uOttawa.
