The students below however are simply connected to a different local partner in that area. People here live in extreme poverty (making less than $2.15 per day). For $68/month, you can link arms and walk alongside one of these students to help them pursue an education. Your donation covers tuition fees, some student supplies, staff visitation, and coordination costs for one high schooler.
Meet Patrick! Patrick and his four siblings stay with their parents in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. His father works in construction to provide for his wife and children, but it is insufficient to afford necessities like school fees. Patrick is often sent home from school because of his unpaid balances, which means he is not receiving the education he hopes for. Patrick dreams of finishing school to support his family so that one day, his siblings can go to school too.
Meet Gryan! He and his mother live together in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. His mother is the sole provider of the family. She supports Gryan through casual jobs like washing clothes and cleaning houses. However, it is not enough to sustain Gryan through his basic needs, like school fees. Gryan would like to become a doctor to help people in need in his community, and sponsorship can bring him one step closer to achieving this.
Meet Reuben! He and his four siblings live with their mother in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. His mother provides for the family through jobs like washing clothes, cleaning homes, and dishwashing. However, it is not enough to sustain the family and afford their school fees. Reuben’s dream is to become the father figure of the household to support his family. Sponsorship will allow Reuben to finish school and alleviate his mother’s financial burden.
Meet Mercy! She lives with her family of eight in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Mercy’s father does not have consistent employment due to challenges in finding available work. Unfortunately, this forces Mercy to miss school due to a lack of school fees. Sponsorship will not solve all of Mercy and her family’s challenges, but it will allow her the opportunity to finish school and become a teacher.
Meet Fredrick! He comes from a family of seven with both of his parents present at home. Unfortunately, his father is unemployed so he cannot provide for his family. School fees are one necessity they are unable to afford, forcing Fredrick to stay at home and not progress with his studies. Fredrick is a determined student who dreams of becoming a surgeon to help heal others. Sponsorship for Fredrick will allow him to go to school and relieve the financial burden of his family.
Meet Jael! She lives with her family in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Jael faces financial challenges as she lives with her father who relies on inconsistent casual jobs for their livelihood. This often leads to frequent school absences so her father can search for work. Her mother lives far away, adding to the family's complexities. Jael aspires to continue her education after high school despite facing financial hurdles. She dreams of securing a stable job to support her family, especially her siblings, and help others in need. Sponsorship can offer Jael a brighter future.
Meet Grace! She, her siblings, and her parents live together in Mathare, an area in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Her father receives income through casual jobs when they are available. Unfortunately, her parent's income is not sufficient for Grace to attend school. Although she is a bright student who hopes to finish her studies and take care of her family, she is often forced to stay home. Sponsorship would allow Grace to finish her studies and pursue her dreams.
Once a year we gather all of our sponsored students in Kenya for a summer camp. At camp, the students will get the chance to make friends with other students, develop stronger relationships with Elijah and his team, and meet some friends from the USA. This is also an opportunity to share the love of Jesus with them. We love camp because it’s when we get to meet all of the students face to face. They are so much fun! Donate any amount to help fund this project!
