BECOME A KYAITHANI SCHOLARSHIP DONOR: 2022

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).

We have a proven track record of successful projects in the Ndandini and Kyaithani area since 2007. For more information about all our projects in Ndandini visit www.ndandini.blogspot.com

118 scholarships awarded for 2022 - every secondary student from a Kyaithani Cluster primary school receives one!

In 2022 because of continued support from our donor community, we were able again (2021 was the first year) to provide a scholarship to every secondary school student at Kyaithani and Lower Yatta Girls Secondary schools.

We were able to provide 118 scholarships for the 2022 school year compared to 104 in 2021.
