Become a scholarship Supporter

BECOME A SUPPORTER OF OUR SCHOLARSHIP FUND FOR KYAITHANI and LOWER YATTA SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN NDANDINI KENYA
In 2011 we started providing scholarships for the 9 top achievers at the only secondary school in the Ndandini area. In 2023 we have now increased that to 106 at Kyaithani and Lower Yatta Secondary Schools. There are over 400 desperately poor students at Kyaithani and Lower Yatta Secondary Schools striving to get an education so they can better their lives. Can you help us increase the number of scholarships that we provide?
We provide a CAD$110 per year scholarship to the students attending secondary school full time who originally graduated from one of the six primary schools in the Kyaithani area. We are looking for donations in any amount.
Donors to the scholarships will be able to follow our progress on this blogspot as we post information about the children being sponsored, photos and letters.
100% of the donations received go to the students and the Board of Governors accounts to us for the funds. There are no deductions for fundraising or administration.
Like the students and their parents, we know that without an education there is little hope for them to make a better life for themselves.

Unlike in Canada, families in Kenya have to pay school fees in order for their children to attend high school. Many children are forced to drop out because, with family incomes of less than $1/day, their families cannot afford to pay the school costs.

Donations in any amount will receive a tax receipt (for Canadian income tax returns).

Very Sad News

It is with heavy hearts that we advise of the very sudden passing of Ann Mwania, Principal of Lower Yatta Girls Secondary School.  Ann has become a dear friend over the past 5 years since she became the founding Principal of the new school in 2013.  Ann worked tirelessly to grow the school to its present operation, where it now provides excellent training and boarding facilities for over 200 girls in all four forms.

Ann will be dearly missed by the school, the community and by those of us involved in supporting Lower Yatta Girls Secondary School through our scholarship donations each year.

Taken too soon.
But God's will be done.

Peace Ann.

Terry & Jan
