FOREWORD
Karibu from Kenya
Firstly, we would like to thank the project workers for the good work that they achieved in the summer of 2011. When visiting they were quieter than the previous groups that was a change for us! We praise the resilience of the PWs for withstanding the accommodation problems; we look to the future in 2012 to better this situation. This year has been a momentous year for KEP in terms of successfully expanding to a second site within Kenya. It was a pleasure to see how smoothly the expansion to Kakamega was organised. I believe that the partnership between the two sites will expand KEPs knowledge about education in Kenya and lead to a positive change within the charity. As a representative of the headteachers across all our partner schools we would like to take this opportunity to welcome all Project Workers (PWs) for next summer and celebrate their future good work. Lastly, we are delighted to welcome the new board members onto the Kenya NGO Board and we look forward to having a positive working relationship with them. Best wishes to all of KEP in England, and as always, asante sana.

INTRODUCTION
Fiona Rushbook
Hello and welcome to the KEP Annual Report 2011. As youll soon read, weve had a very exciting year with a successful expansion to Kakamega, full integration of University College London (UCL), and record-breaking fundraising and Project Worker (PW) numbers. Building upon last year's successes, this year we have nearly doubled the number of PWs to 37, working in 19 schools. Subsequently we have held the largest ever KEP training programme, provided the biggest ever Summer Team with 4 Managers and 10 Coordinators and updated our KEP model and Programmes of Delivery (PoDs) which have worked equally well in both Kisii and Kakamega. None of this, however, would have been achieved without our first ever UK-based Project Manager Jake who provided the essential full-time capacity to facilitate our expansions during 2010-2011. Jake spent a great deal of time fundraising and managing our internal and external communications to Kenya and all the various Workstream Programmes. Through his fundraising efforts, KEP secured significant donations from the Allan & Nesta Ferguson Trust and the North South Travel Foundation, totaling over 7,000 which has given the charity a long-term development strategy. He also worked towards implementing further UK-based expansion to Kings College London, our fourth KEP university! Thank you Jake for all your hard work! This year has also seen the departure of Chris Trimble, who after a long and successful tenure, decided to step down as Chairman of the KEP Board. When Chris first got involved with KEP in 2000, there were no Workstreams, PoDs or a Management Committee KEP consisted of just 4 friends from Cambridge University! Chris and those early volunteers were fundamental in shaping, growing and sustaining KEP into the organization we are today. We wish Chris all the best with his new wife in the USA, and also welcome Tom Ebbutt as our new UK Chairman.

ABOUT KEP
Mission statement
Kenya Education Partnerships is committed to improving the secondary education opportunities of young people in rural Kenya. We work in direct partnership with schools, striving to build their capacity for sustainable, good quality education, primarily through investment in essential resources. Our programme offers a unique opportunity to talented UK students to both help improve our partner schools and experience life in a different culture.
Guiding principles
> Opportunity
Opportunity guides everything we want to do as an organisation. Ultimately, we aim to improve secondary education opportunities for young people in Kenya. We also place great importance on the opportunities we offer our UK volunteers starting with the Project Worker experience, and continuing through to opportunities to be involved at all levels in running an exciting charity.
> Passion
We are passionate both about the work we do, and the way we go about it. We place a high value on meeting our commitments and on doing a good job on time. We are also passionate about our friends: it is tremendous that we are a volunteer organisation, and we value a relaxed, positive and friendly attitude throughout our work.
> Responsibility
Above all, we want to be a responsible and ethical organization. This has several dimensions: Understanding the impacts (both intended and unintended) of our work in Kenya Being reflective and responsive as an organization Maintaining meaningful partnership with our schools Respect for all we work with Aiming for long term sustainability in our work
Our aims in UK
Offer a unique opportunity to talented UK students to live and work in a developing country. Promote understanding among young people in the UK about the realities facing developing countries, especially in the education sector. Deliver a high-class training programme that enables volunteers to maximize their beneficial impact in Kenyan schools, in tandem with their opportunities for personal development. Mobilize the skills and enthusiasm of students and young professionals, and give young people the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of the running of a charity.
Work in direct partnership with schools to help increase the opportunities for young people to access good quality secondary education. Invest in each partner school, to build its capacity for delivering and maintaining quality education, primarily through a programme of tailored resource investment and development initiatives. Identify and select schools with greatest potential to benefit from our programme: typically in areas with low access to affordable secondary education and high potential for growth. Connect schools and students with exciting opportunities, for example by catalyzing partnerships between schools and: (1) existing service providers for specific education issues; (2) the Ministry of Education; (3) local businesses.

Our strategy
This is achieved by sending talented university students from Cambridge, Oxford, University College London (UCL) and now Kings College London who fundraise money in the UK for investment in our partnered Kenyan schools. We invest heavily in resources and school development, working closely with school management to ensure that resources are fully utilised and our interventions are sustainable. We take a holis-tic approach, understanding that a good school offers much sources. As such we use our Programs of Delivery (PODs) to curricular activities, information regarding HIV/AIDS and educational opportunities. Our other interventions try to assist -resourced schools, through sports, music, art or drama. more than just good reimprove access to extraknowledge about postthe wider needs of under
Investing in academic education as well as their broader personal development does not just help at an individual level but contributes to the wider development of Kisii, Kakamega and Kenya as a whole. Students who have benefited from being at a KEP school will hopefully grow up to be able to invest their own wages, skills and time in their community and country. Our efforts over the last 20 years have been focused on the Kisii region in southwest Kenya and in 2011 we successfully expanded to a new project site in nearby Kakamega.

Graduate School
A Graduate School is one which achieves clear development targets, such as sustainable levels of growth, self-investment and rapidly improving exam results. No school enters this stage immediately, if at all. For example if a school is incompatible with the KEP programme or shows little commitment to the understandings outlined at the start of the partnership it becomes an Alumnus and will no longer be involved with the charity. However it is most likely that after the first 2 years, the school will pass into an X stage of the programme which is an undefined period of further investment that will be reviewed each year. We also continue to monitor our post-programme Graduate Schools closely and could return to the school if it would benefit from further investment. Graduate Initial 2 years Alumnus

A solid base of core books and equipment is fundamental to the success of a school. However these only form part of our Programmes of Delivery (PoDs). In addition, we work closely with the school management to ensure that the school has the capacity for these resources to be fully utilised and our initiatives are sustainable. This human investment includes:
In light of our expansion to Kakamega, we are continuing to adapt these PoDs to reflect variations between sites and schools. The main areas in which PoDs have been undergoing change and improvement this year include: 1. An improved accessibility and range of PoD training materials by providing comprehensive access to successful case studies in a separate booklet, and online resources for PWs via a much-improved intranet, fondly named Karibunet. The Focus PW initiative has been launched in order to enhance the continuity of our approach to each individual PoD. Now PWs can express an interest in a specific PoD and receive extra training and resources in that area before they leave the UK - whether this involves the handover of past initiatives, of knowledge about suppliers, or of relevant research. They can then take this forward into new projects during their summer in Kenya. Issues concerned with cultural practices have been updated to reflect the ethnic specificities in Kisii and Kakamega. For example, female circumcision, unlike the male equivalent, is not very common in the Kakamega region. The PoD that was previously known as School Management has been rebranded as School development to reflect its accessibility and importance. This, we hope, will help future PWs to focus on how we work with schools to ensure they plan sustainably for their future developments. Furthermore, School Development now includes materials on how PWs can contribute to encouraging good teaching practice, and providing for different types of learner.

EXPANSION TO KAKAMEGA
Helen Mackreath
After expanding to University College London in 2009 we considerably increased our volunteering capacity. This meant that our aim to improve the quality of education in Kenyan District schools could be realised on a much greater scale. Increasing Project Workers in Kisii would have placed too much pressure on one site, and expansion also allowed us to diversify our impact. Alongside the solid support of people working in the charity, our ever-increasing success in Kisii and the UK has meant that our ambitions to increase our work can now be achieved.
Why Kakamega?
In November 2009 Anna Kim, a University of Cambridge PhD student, was appointed to carry out research into potential expansion opportunities in East Africa. She conducted six weeks of desk-based and seven weeks intensive research around potential sites in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. Criteria for a site included:
Local environment such as political stability and healthcare provisions. Logistics such as access to Kisii and an international airport. Education levels, under-resourced schools but good support from the District Education Officer (DEO).
Local community support. School profile whether they fit the KEP Model. As a result of this research, Kakamega (in western Kenya) was selected as KEPs
first expansion site, due to its proximity to Kisii and prevalence of under-resourced schools.

SCHOOL SPOTLIGHTS
School Spotlights 1: Kerongeta Secondary School, Kisii
First Year School Jessica Macaro and Jan Freyburg (2011) Kerongeta School is headed by a lovely man who has very high ambitions and has already made large improvements in his first year at the school. However on arrival we found the school had a ratio of one textbook to eight students and an average grade D- (MSS of 2.42). The library was tiny (half the size it is now), very messy and dark, - we even found rats eating the mock exam papers! There were very few books, despite the school having made an investment earlier in the year. The library was therefore our main priority. We bought over 450 textbooks for the school, increased the size of the library, made shelves, chairs and a table (for students to read reference-only books), and organised all the mock exam papers so that they were more accessible. To make these changes sustainable we also created a new index card system for borrowing which should enable the library teacher to keep track of books more easily, and we covered all the books in plastic to make them durable. We also established that the schools most serious long-term problem was that students often could not afford to pay for their lunch fees. This was adding to the schools debt. So, to provide a source of revenue we planted 400 gum tree seedlings, which can be sold as timber with 200% profit in 5 years. Other projects included improvements to rainwater collection tanks, heath awareness and HIV/AIDs testing and counselling and investments in sanitary towel at wholesale price to sell in-school to the girls. Since Kerongeta is a first year KEP school it will benefit greatly from subsequent investments especially in infrastructure and extracurricular projects.

to this day, and particularly in the Kisii region, we decided to try and raise more money to help improve learning facilities for the girls. The award of $5,000 CAD for the implementation of our proposal will certainly contribute to St. Don Boscos efforts to remain a centre of excellence and hope in the Kisii region.
Form Four, were sleeping on the classroom floors at night in order to use the schools electricity after nightfall for their studies. We raised the issue with Soita which resulted in writing a letter to the parents of these girls, asking them to come and discuss the option of temporary boarding for their daughters. Matters were complicated when we found out that we would need much better security and fencing to meet the standards of safe boarding. We would need a female to stay with the girls, to ensure they wouldnt sneak out at night; but the matrons family lived too far away. However, after much enthusiastic discussion, it was decided that those parents who believed in the project and had sufficient trust in their daughters would allow them to stay at school. The girls would stay in the Dining Hall, a curtain separating their sleeping area from the main part of the hall, and they would be allowed to cook whatever their parents would give them in the school kitchen. We bought the fabric the week after, and brought it to the village seamstress to start on the project. It was a fantastic achievement which could have occurred without the support of Soita or the Sisokhe community.
ticular book. We also noticed that the wall separating two classrooms was only partially complete, which proved to be an inconvenience for some students because the bellowing sounds that came from a very noisy teacher in one class were heard by the students in the other. We therefore employed a carpenter to finish the wall at a fairly cheap price. Given the size of the school, we were perplexed as to why the Board of Governors and the Principal thought it was necessary to build two laboratories and an administration block. We later proposed to them in a BoG meeting that it would be better to only build one laboratory, using the second space for a library. We were excited to find out a couple of days later that the board of governors had agreed to our proposal. Particularly important to us was what Beth and I discovered about some female students being absent from school on a regular basis. It was evident that due to the severe poverty of the area these students could not afford basic sanitary towels, which led them to feel too uncomfortable and embarrassed to turn up for classes. We decided to provide a short-term solution for this problem by giving the school with a supply of sanitary pads which could be sold to the students at a heavily discounted price. Then Beth began to do some much-needed research into this matter in the Kakamega region, with the intent to try and organise a long-term partnership between the school and a cheap supplier. Although she managed to secure a meeting with a director of a well-known brand of sanitary towels in Nairobi, the person she had arranged to meet up with did not turn up! (Kuwakaribisha kwa Kenya!!).

Liaising with external NGOs is something that KEP has always considered, and had experience on a number of occasions. From partnerships with health NGOs to solar panel charities, Project Workers have often taken the initiative in thinking through how our work could be enhanced. By linking up with various NGOs, KEP's efficacy, breadth and depth of work can be improved. Partly prompted by the move to Kakamega this year - the home of many well-established developmental NGOs - KEP has decided to have a thorough review of how we partner with NGOs going forward. Subsequently we are creating a framework through which we can assess which NGOs we can most benefit from partnership. This will be based on the type of NGO, the contribution they offer i.e. product based or advice-based, the area in which they work, and the involvement of their people within KEP to name but a few criteria. We need to establish a balance between ensuring the KEP experience is not diminished nor the consistency of our message diluted, whilst pursuing the greatest impact in Kenya as efficiently as we can. Watch this space for the outcomes of our discussions on this framework, but we hope by 2013 to have a much more coherent way of partnering with many fantastic developmental NGOs! As a taster of the kinds of work we can incorporate into KEPs remit, very excitingly we are piloting a partnership this year with I-Rise, a charity which will train the Project Workers in how to teach Kenyan women about making reusable, sustainable sanitary towels. With so many girls missing days off school during their period and unable to buy single-use sanitary towels, this could be a revolution in providing the opportunity for girls to take full advantage of their education. KEPs Gender POD and Health POD provision would greatly benefit from I-Rise mwezi reusable sanitary towels made from this relationship with I-Rise. locally sourced and easily available materials such as old tshirts, stitched together in a simple but effective manner.

that they were growing. Students were then encouraged to set up their own small-scale gardens at home. I then created a workshop, inviting representatives from around 10 schools from the surrounding area, to gauge the enthusiasm for projects such as these and thus the possibility for future expansion. There was unanimous interest in the project, so I sought an interview with the CEO of Nakumatt (Kenyas largest supermarket) to discuss the possibility of selling the projects produce to them. I was granted the interview and discussed the proposal in Nakumatts headquarters in Nairobi before travelling home. The outcome was that Nakumatt are willing to buy the produce. What remains is to expand the project in order to make the transport of the produce to Nairobi worthwhile for the schools and its students. Since returning to the UK, I have met up with the programme manager for one of the Interclimate Networks latest projects, International Climate Change Kenya. Mr Whitehead has shown huge interest in the project and particularly the contacts I forged between the schools and Nakumatt. He is hoping to incorporate many KEP schools into his network by summer 2012 and work towards creating many similar projects (as well as my own) that aim to achieve the same goals. I remain in frequent contact with the Interclimate Network, YGTA and the Nakumatt manager of the Kakamega branch.

SUMMER RESEARCH
Ashley Craft & Kate Summers The Research Workstream in KEP is entering its third year with a new position, the Focus PW, and more research projects than ever before. This summer, the research team will be doing projects on the Kisii local economy and job market, levels of political engagement amongst students, and KEPs preferred approach to supporting sanitary towels in schools. Last summer, Kate Summers conducted a qualitative research project to explore the impact of interventions made by KEP to promote gender equality. The research report is currently undergoing completion, and will be fed into PoD strategy for the KEP year of 2012-13 as well as existing as a source of reference for this years PWs. Kate carried out interviews in 10 schools, some that were pre-KEP investment, some that were actively involved with KEP at the time of the interviews and some that were post-programme schools. Interviews were conducted with a group of female students, a group of male students, and the guidance and counselling teacher(s) in each school. The questions were structured in such a way that an explicit discussion of gender was not broached by the interviewer until later on in the discussion before finally tapering the discussion to look at KEPs involvement in changing gender attitudes and realities. This meant that it could be seen if the factor of gender arose unprompted in more general discussions of students experience of school, home, and plans for the future or if other themes in fact took precedence.
best can we address this [gender inequality]? Its possible, its possible, though its very difficult, because society itself has great force, and to some extent it is difficult Some [girls] will change, and you know the percentage can be around 5, 10%, after which maybe it will go, multiply, and then maybe affect the others later on.
Female guidance and counselling
How
Preliminary results suggest that the ability to create sustainable change in an area such as gender is very difficult. There was considerable variation across KEP schools, although the impact made on students who were in direct contact with PWs in a KEP school was much more uniform in terms of the positive opportunity which existed for students and PWs to exchange ideas and compare cultures. In addition, common ways of thinking about gender equality issues, practical solutions, and specific initiatives that have worked have been identified by interview participants which can be taken forward by KEP. It will be exciting to incorporate the priorities and perceptions of the students and staff involved in these interviews into our work surrounding the promotion of gender equality.
23
Advertising as widely and professionally as possible Converting enquiries into applications by improving the way KEP is presented from the outset.
The plan is for the London UGCs to remain joined to an extent next year, but devolve as much as possible to Kings. Under the guidance of the UCL UGC, I am confident that KEP KCL will go from strength to strength. Id like to thank my amazingly competent, fun, efficient, friendly and patient UGC in alphabetical order for all their help and ideas: Bobby Sachdev, Charlotte Lennon, Molly Manning, Rishik Menon and Sui Hang Hui. Thank you for putting up with my fluctuations in efficiency and blind optimism! I feel weve learned a lot from the recruitment process, not least to temper our excitement, and hone our determination.

Statement of trustees responsibilities United Kingdom company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company as at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for that period. In doing so the trustees are required to: (1) (2) (2) (3) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed; and prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for the system of internal control, safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

All of the above result from continuing activities. There are no recognised gains or losses for the current year other than as stated above. The deficits for the year for Companies Act purposes comprises the net outgoing resources for the year and was 5,194 (2010: 1,431). For the year ended 30/11/2011 the company was entitled to an exemption from audit under section 477 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. The Members have not required the company to obtain an audit in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. The Directors acknowledge their responsibility for complying with the requirements of the Act with respect to accounting records and for the preparation of accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions of entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable. Income raised by project workers for resource investment represents those funds which were legally donated to the charity during the course of the financial year ended 30 November 2011. Additional funds were raised in the year by Oxford, Cambridge and UCL university societies. These additional funds were directly expended on Kenya Education Partnerships charitable activities in East Africa.
