The Star

The Star, which adopted the slogan 'Fresh, Independent, Different' to differentiate itself from its two main competitors that were perceived as excessively conservative, remains the most independent of the Kenyan newspapers and probably the most outspoken. It has more regional news, more sports news, more social pages and more opinion columns than its competitors.
It targets a younger market than the Standard and the Nation but particularly tries to attract the attention of the 'thinking' reader. It has been running an advertising campaign with the catchline 'Smart People Read the Star'.

The Jubilee Scholarship Fund is a comprehensive programme that attends to the child's need for education- through the scholarship, life skills and mentorship- with the help of our team of volunteer mentors and trainers, and social support systems- by actively engaging their parents and guardians and walking with them in their journey toward self-sustainability.
Nairobi Chapel had for quite some time received an overwhelming number of requests to pay high school fees for brilliant children. Most of these children had exemplary results in KCPE, but were not able to join high school or had to drop out very early in their high school education. The reason for this – NO SCHOOL FEES.
Africa to Brazil is proud to support The Jubilee Scholarship Fund in its endevour to educate these needy but bright students
