The Westridge Foundation is a community-driven initiative rooted in Western Kenya, committed to breaking the cycle of poverty for rural families who live below the poverty index. Many children in neglected villages lack access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
We believe that every child deserves the tools to thrive. Through research-backed educational strategies, empowerment programs, and targeted community development, we equip individuals to build a better future—one child, one village at a time.
Our mission is to provide world-class education and empowerment programs for underprivileged communities, ensuring every child has the opportunity to become a resilient, responsible leader.
Mr. Wilberforce Kidavi is a testament to resilience and dedication. Born into humble beginnings, he walked over 7 kilometers to school each day, often barefoot and in worn-out uniforms. His parents, determined to give him an education, paid his school fees with farm produce—beans and maize from their small plot of land.
Despite the challenges, Mr. Kidavi rose above the odds to become a seasoned educator and expert in the field of education. With over 14 years of experience as a teacher and school administrator, he brings both a deep understanding of grassroots realities and a wealth of professional expertise.
