dc.description.abstract	One of the most important human rights in all societies today is access to Education. Most people have not been able to attain this basic right due to poverty. Therefore this research seeks to find out the effects of poverty on school performance in the Suna East sub-county in Migori County. A major challenge when it comes to education in Suna East was school dropouts which were believed to arise from poverty. The researcher sought to explore the challenges these poverty stricken students face in their quest for education. The researcher would use case study as the research methodology whereby data such as questionnaires, face to face interviews and observation would be used to collect data. The data was then analyzed using descriptive statistics and SPSS. Lack of school fee, poor malnutrition, and poor health, lack of proper school uniforms and inadequacy of learning resources are some of effects of poverty in Suna East hence the researcher would try to reveal how these effects are relevant when it comes to the issue of poverty in Suna East community. The results obtained from this study would indicate how poverty has negatively impacted students’ academic performance and how the school authorities could come in to help the students who are less privileged.	en_US
