Up to 80% of teenage Kenyan girls don’t have the opportunity to attend secondary school. This exposes them to high-risk situations including child marriage, child prostitution, familial abuse & extreme poverty. Seed of Hope nurtures students to reach their potential through 2 years of training & counseling. Graduates are supported to set up their own small business as a 1st step towards independence. Since 2002 approx 240 girls have graduated, about 75% of whom are now employed or self-employed.
Our full training and counseling program is complimented by a feeding program and income generating activities which teach the girls how to be self sufficient and help to support the centres.
Total Funding Received to Date: $9,391
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $608
Total Funding Goal: $10,000
This project has provided additional documentation in a Microsoft Word file (projdoc.doc).
Seed of Hope has the potential to enable many girls to gain financial independence, employ others, pay for siblings’ education & improve living conditions for their families. These are all realities we can see amongst our current graduates.
"Through your help I have become ambitious, have self esteem and happy because I can get my daily bread and also support my family. When you’re helping one girl you’re helping five people. Thanks"
