The vision of Education for Life centres around Glyn and Jane's Davies heart for Africa, and in particular Kenya. During the ninties they made regular visits to Mombasa until making it their home in February 2000.
Education for Life's vision is founded on the Christian faith and operates according to Christian principles. Everyone involved with Education for Life is given the opportunity to learn more about the Christian faith.
The role of Education for Life is to work within and alongside the local community, helping them to establish education, of a social and academic nature to both children and adults. Education for Life seeks to ensure that children have the opportunity to learn to read, write, understand basic number work and also attain social skills, including understanding the need for health, hygiene and cleanliness (personal, at home and in the environment). The moral and practical support of a community requires considerable investment in both time and money. Education for Life is committed to seeing its vision fulfilled, and as a result of this we have a team of full time and part time workers in England and Kenya ensuring that the work of the charity is run effectively and efficiently.
