About Us

The Kecher View

Small, rural villages all around the world are often economically, physically, and technologically isolated from global trends and possibilities. Rural youth's potential and goals often go unrealized because of their disadvantageous starting place, robbing them of their potential and depriving the world of their contributions.

People that are motivated to learn go a long way. Students broaden their perspective by having access to information and hearing diverse viewpoints, which helps then develop a sense of mission and direction in their lives. Perspective, direction, and learning are the raw resources with which students can build future careers, no matter where they are.

Kecher's growing number of volunteers from around the world are eager to share their knowledge with other young people, so that they can have a bright, rewarding future, both as individuals and as members of society.

What we do

Kecher Africa is a hybrid online and offline outreach program that bridges the gap between often-isolated rural communities and the trends and opportunities in the world at large. High-school mentoring programs, webinars and workshops on higher-education opportunities abroad, community exchanges and more, inspiring our youth to actively participate in today’s knowledge revolution and skill-building for tomorrow.

Our aim is to motivate the African youth to gain powerful life and academic skills and grow into responsible adults, emphasizing:

• Quality Education
• Gender equality of rights and opportunity
• Ethics and responsibility
• Promotion of industry, innovation, and infrastructure
