What the charity does
We fit out and support community libraries in rural Kenya in consultation with local people, providing books, newspapers, IT, book development programmes and training in order to improve literacy and availability of information. We also give secondary school bursaries to able, needy students from the immediate locality, in return for a few hours work in the libraries, each week.

Why there's no Clarity Score yet
The Clarity Score is computed from full financial filing history. The Akili Trust is on the official register but outside the detailed-filing group we currently score (or awaiting its first filings), so we show its official register record instead of a rating. Its score appears automatically once enough filing data exists — never by payment. How scoring works
