As the 2016 school year gets under way, we are excited to announce the construction of a new mushroom house on campus! We will be growing and selling mushrooms to a local buyer who will dry them and export them to international markets. Cultivating mushrooms for sale is one of several activities we are undertaking to move our organization toward greater financial independence and sustainability. Engaging our kids in the growing process will also teach them income-generating skills they can apply in the future.
As we seek to expand local revenue-generating activities in the years ahead, we remain deeply grateful to our wonderful network of donors! Your support is critical as we work to provide the orphans and vulnerable children of Kisii, Kenya with a quality education, a nurturing home, and a chance at a bright future. Please consider sponsoring one of our orphans today by making a one-time donation or signing up to contribute $25/month. For the cost of a daily trip to the vending machine, you can change a child’s life!
An African proverb says “If you want to go quickly, go alone; if you want to go far, bring everyone.” Thank you for being a critical partner as we work to empower marginalized children with the tools to become self-sufficient, contributing members of their communities.
With gratitude,
The Margaret Okari Children's Foundation Team
