YANA Community High School

In February 2017, CEP started YANA Community High School, a registered secondary school which provides high-quality, subsidized secondary education for orphans and vulnerable youth, particularly girls. YANA opened with the aim of reaching children who had been slipping through the cracks from under-education to poverty by addressing constraints such as high school fees, absenteeism, and low motivation / poor performance. This is done by providing a higher number of scholarships on a sliding scale to vulnerable children who cannot afford local private schools, are located too far from the only public secondary school, or are not fortunate enough to earn limited scholarships to schools elsewhere in the region.
