Educate and Feed 22 Orphans in Kilifi, Kenya.

Hi Friends of Upendo,

Our sincere gratitude for the continued support to our beneficiaries through this project.

As the year comes to an end, we are happy to share with you updates about the students supported by and the impact of your donation through this project to our beneficiaries.

Four (4) students are currently sitting their final secondary school examination this month. They will join college/university in in 2026.

Three (3) students will be graduating next year in different courses and colleges and universities. These are among the 13 students in various colleges and universities across the country.

We are happy to report that our best student, Venessa, secured a scholarship with Wells Mountain Initiative (USA) to study Nursing.

Wishing you a nice time as you continue making a difference in the lives of those in need.

Thank you,

Special Feature: Venessa
Venessa scored a B (plain) in last year's final national examination and is awaiting joining university in September this year. She has been placed at Pwani University to study a bachelor's degree in Education.

Her determination and desire for education made her walk a distance of about 5 kilometers every day to and from Upendo to attend classes for 11 years; until she completed her primary school education.

In 2020, Venessa sat for her KCPE and scored 352 marks out of 500 marks and got admission at Matuga Girls National School and also secured a scholarship from Wings to Fly Scholarship programme – funded by Equity Bank Foundation.

Her resilience, hard work and determination is a testament of her excellent performance she achieved in her final examination.

Since the start of this year, Venessa has been coming to the project to volunteer and has been helping out on project activities including assisting the younger ones with their personal studies, helping the cooks serve food and general cleaning.

Your generous contributions have made this possible.

Thank you.
