OnCourse
What we do
OnCourse is an Australian based charity working to eradicate poverty in Kenya.
We place a special focus on empowering disadvantaged youth and women through access to education and employment.
We believe local communities are best placed to identify their own needs, and have worked alongside them to provide education, employment pathways, social support and essential infrastructure since 2013.
Learn moreWhy we do it
OnCourse believe in equality of opportunity for all, and maximising the social return on investment we achieve using the limited funding we raise.
Our organisation is run by young people, for young people. We believe Australian youth are passionate about supporting those who haven't had the opportunities we have, and want to use their experience, skills and resources to create real change.
We don’t measure change by dollar raised, but by the positive social, economic and personal value it’s created for the people and communities with whom we work.
Our projects are chosen and continually evaluated to maximise the long term benefit of the community. We only employ local Kenyan staff who have grown up in the community, and understand their needs intuitively, and are intrinsically invested in our mission.
OnCourse is the conduit through which passionate people in both Australia and Kenya choose to make a positive change in the world.
years serving communities
We started OnCourse in late 2013 after identifying a lack of education, training and employment opportunities in Nakuru, Kenya.
of donations to operations
All donations go directly to our operations in Kenya. No overheads, no administration, no waste.
Our projects have evolved in collaboration with local communities to target those most in need, and ensure their support is timely, meaningful and powerful.
Each project also has its own assessment criteria when it comes to identifying candidates and ensuring that we are targeting those who can most benefit from them.
Our projects also evolve over time as we work out better ways to run them, adapt to the changing environment we operate in, and identify new opportunities for us to get involved with.
