It’s approaching the end of the year and we thank God for the far that we have come together with our beneficiaries. The road has been tough but we are grateful we have achieved in one way or the other. Our last year beneficiary has now joined Maseno University although it is unfortunate we were not able to support him much as we hoped. We contributed to the fundraising that the family organized and they raised some money to cater for his first semester fees and personal effects as the family continue sourcing more funds for the entire university course we wish them all the best and we will be contributing little support as we do more fundraising. Thank you to all those who made generous contribution to support this program. Our secondary school beneficiaries are progressing on well, they are now preparing for the end of the year exams which will see them going to the next learning level. We don’t have any candidate this year but next year we will have 3 of them we wish them all the best. Parents and guardians have started approaching us requesting us to consider supporting their children who will be joining secondary school next year. It is so unfortunate as we cannot promise any support at the moment. We are even concerned since we are worried of what will happen to the few students who joined form one this year and we committed to support them only this year. We are encouraging their parents and guardians to consider applying for school bursary offered by the government. It is not easy and we hope some of them if not all will get some support. We have not given u though as we count on our friends and well-wishers to join us in fundraising and mobilizing resources to continue supporting the vulnerable students. Thank you again for your continued support and the achievements that you have contributed towards. As we conclude the year, please appreciate our sincere gratitude and we humbly request for more support for further achievements in supporting vulnerable students towards education.

Progress with our beneficiary students has been fantastic and we sincerely appreciate the support given to these vulnerable students. They reported back to school after short April holiday. They all came to the office to bring their report forms for the first term and we are happy with their performances. They are doing well and we keep encouraging them to work even harder for them to achieve their objectives. As earlier reported, our last year candidate was expecting admission letter to join public university in the cause of the year and we are happy to report that he has received admission letter to join Maseno University to pursue medicine course and he was very excited. His parents, friends and well-wishers are mobilizing resources to help him pay school fees and meet other requirements as expected by the university. We had hopes to support him but unfortunately we have not received much donations to enable us continue supporting him like we did when he was in secondary school. We contributed some support but we have not given up on fundraising. The other beneficiaries in secondary schools are doing fine and the beneficiaries in form one are progressing on well and they are happy in their secondary schools. It has been challenging to raise funds and we are concerned on how to continue supporting the increasing number of vulnerable students and their families, we request all our well-wishers to consider contributing to our project for us to continue supporting our beneficiaries towards education. We appreciate the support given this far and we pray for more blessings. Thank you for the continued support.

The year 2019 started well and we thank God for this far. Our students reported back to school for first term in January 2019 and they are now preparing to break for April holiday next week. We have had a good school term and all our beneficiaries reported back and remained in their respective schools as expected. We managed to pay school fees for all them and support some of them in boarding schools with personal effects and books for the whole term. Thank you to all those who have been contributing to this project that has benefited vulnerable children. As reported previously one of our beneficiaries did his final exams November last year and the results were released in December. We are happy to report that he performed well and scored B- grade and as usual he was top in his school and he made us proud. He will be joining university in August this year although they are yet to receive letters of admission in public university, we remain optimistic that he will be admitted in a good university where he will pursue a course of his choice. We hope to support him in some ways once we know the university he will be joining and what will be required of him. Although we don’t have money at the moment, we hope by the time he will be going to school we will have money for us to support him and we request all our well-wishers to consider contributing to our project to enable the dreams of this young man and other come true. In the previous report we promised to report on the status of adding more beneficiaries in our program after receiving some good donations in December last year. Am happy to report that we managed to add 5 more students in our program those who joined form one in January this year. These 5 students 3 girls and 2 boys performed well in their final exams and they were admitted in good public schools and their parents and guardians were not in a position to take them to those schools due to limited resources. They approached us and after several meetings and visits to their homes we decided to support them. Although the number of needy students was higher than that, we could not manage to accommodate all of them and we had to consider the neediest and most vulnerable among them. They all joined boarding schools that they were admitted and we hope to receive their progress reports and performance soon once they close school next week. We hope we will have money to continue supporting them as we committed to support them for 1 year but if we receive more resources we will continue supporting them and possibly consider others. Thank you to all our well-wishers, friends and partners for this far they have supported us. Please accept our sincere gratitude as we request you to consider walking the journey with us even further.
