The global Sustainable Development Goal No. 4 aims at “Ensuring Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education and Lifelong learning for all by 2030”.  It calls for closer attention to hard to reach groups, gender equality, girls and women and the marginalized. The nomadic regions, Pockets of Poverty areas and Urban Informal Settlements of Kenya are identified as the most marginalized and hard to reach with conventional education. The government of Kenya has since independence committed itself to provisions of education to all its citizen as a national duty and partly in line with fulfilling its international commitment in education agenda.
