Dear GlobalGiving Team and Supporters,
Warm greetings from Leroy Bones Foundation!
We are delighted to share an encouraging update on our “Educate 50 Children with Disabilities in Kenya” project. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are currently supporting 12 children with disabilities to attend specialised schools, giving them access to education tailored to their individual learning needs.
Every child deserves an opportunity to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. However, for many families in Kenya, the cost of specialised education remains a significant barrier. Children with disabilities often require additional learning support, specialised teaching, and individualised educational interventions, which can be expensive for families already facing financial challenges.
Mary’s Story: Keeping a Dream Alive
Mary is a four-year-old girl whose educational journey was almost cut short before it had a chance to flourish. Her mother, who is raising her alone, was struggling to afford the fees required for Mary to continue attending her specialised school. Without financial assistance, Mary was on the verge of dropping out.
For a young child, these early years are particularly important for learning, communication, social development, and building independence. Losing access to specialised education at this stage could limit opportunities for growth and development.
Mary’s situation reminds us of the difficult choices many parents of children with disabilities face. A parent’s financial circumstances should never determine whether a child gets an education.
Through this project, we are working to ensure that children like Mary have an opportunity to remain in school and receive the support they need to learn and thrive.
Our Goal: Reaching 50 Children
We are proud of the 12 children currently benefiting from this initiative, but our journey is far from over. Our goal is to support 50 children with disabilities to access specialised education. This means we still need resources to reach more children whose families cannot afford the cost of schooling.
Your sponsorship can help provide school fees, learning materials, and access to the specialised educational support these children need. By investing in their education, you are helping build a foundation for greater independence, participation, and inclusion.
Will You Help Us Reach More Children?
We invite you to continue supporting this project and to encourage others to become sponsors. Whether you make a one-time donation or commit to supporting a child regularly, your contribution can help change the course of a child's life.
Imagine the difference we can make if more children like Mary are given the chance to stay in school, discover their abilities, and pursue their dreams.
Together, we can move closer to our goal of educating 50 children with disabilities in Kenya. Every child deserves to learn, every family deserves support, and every donation brings us one step closer to a more inclusive future.
Thank you for believing in these children and for partnering with Leroy Bones Foundation to make inclusive education more accessible.
With sincere gratitude,
Edyth Bones
