In rural Kenya, poverty forces families to make impossible choices. Many children miss school to work, care for siblings, or because their families simply cannot afford basic school supplies. The cycle of poverty continues when education is cut short.
The Ricca Afterschool Centre provides a safe, nurturing environment where children aged 6-14 can learn, play, and grow after school hours.

“I started Ricca because I saw the brilliant potential in every child being dimmed by circumstances beyond their control. We are not just giving an education; we are giving children back their childhood and the tools to build their own futures.”
We create safe spaces where children are protected from harm, exploitation, and neglect. Our community-based approach ensures that every child has a supportive network looking out for their well-being and rights.
Through our Ricca Afterschool Centre and Elimu Vijiji Fellowship, we provide quality educational support, mentorship, and resources that complement formal schooling and spark a lifelong love of learning.
We empower families and communities to break the cycle of poverty. By equipping parents with resources and knowledge, and training local educators, we build sustainable change from within the community.
RICCA works through a holistic approach that combines protection, education, and community empowerment. We create safe afterschool spaces, train local educators, and engage families to ensure children have the support they need to thrive academically and emotionally.
The Ricca Afterschool Centre is a safe, nurturing environment where children aged 6-14 can learn, play, and grow after school hours. We provide homework support, educational activities, mentorship, and a nutritious meal all in a caring community setting.
There are many ways to support RICCA! You can volunteer your time, make a donation, sponsor a child's education, or help us spread the word. Every contribution, big or small, helps us create safe spaces for children in rural Kenya.
The Elimu Vijiji Ricca Fellowship trains local community members to become educators and mentors for children in their own villages. Fellows receive comprehensive training, resources, and ongoing support to run afterschool programs that meet their community's unique needs.
