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).

CHARITABLE STATUS for Rotary Club Sunshine Coast-Sechelt (Society)

We are so very happy that the Rotary Club Sunshine Coast - Sechelt has received charitable status from the Canadian Government for it's charitable "Society".  The purpose of the "Society" is solely to raise funds for the granting of scholarships for secondary school students in Kenya, including the provision of bursaries for secondary school students wishing to pursue vocational school training.

Our normal source of donations from individuals continues to be this website's DONATE button which automatically results in your receipt of an official tax receipt for your Canadian tax filing.

But we can now also issue tax receipts directly from the "Society" for donations not made online.

We are hoping that the recognition by Canada Revenue Agency of our scholarship work as a registered Canadian Charity will encourage more people to donate so that we can increase the number of scholarships provided each year.
