Founded in September 2009, our UK Chapter of Aiducation International is working hard to raise
donations for scholarships. We have official charity status in the UK and in our first year we raised
more than 25 scholarships to cover the fees students must pay for four years of high school in Kenya.
Every member of our team is a volunteer and doesn’t receive a salary from Aiducation and this makes it possible for us to pass on at least 90% of your donation directly to the students. Our dedicated volunteers are primarily located in Cambridge and London but we are expanding into more regions. Contact us today if you would like to join our team or make a donation.
The UK team currently consists of 17 volunteers in Cambridge and London. Listed below are the most active members
