Help Educate 330 Mukinyai School Orphans, Kenya

Finally we have been able to conduct the long waited workshop for the Mukinyai youth although with restriction of participants due to limited resources but we are happy that we have made a step as we continue to fundraise more for another workshop where we will have all the youths willing to participate as well as accommodate those in boarding schools at the moment.   The main objective of the workshop was to raise awareness to the youths in schools and those out of schools on various youth opportunities.  We encourage them to form groups so that they can benefit from the various opportunities provided by different players. 

In primary school section we have managed to support 4 very needy children with school uniforms as well as books to ensure that they continue with their education.  Although this is not enough considering many challenges facing the vulnerable families in Mukinyai we prioritized on school uniforms and books for the needy children.  We intend to fundraise more to support others who are also very vulnerable.  Towards this we invite all the well-wishers to join hands with us in fundraising towards supporting the orphans and vulnerable children in Mukinyai primary school as well as youths in the area.  To this far we thank all those who have sacrificed in order to support the less privileged in our society and all those who are willing to offer support in one or the other.

We are still fundraising for the youths’ workshop from Mukinyai village but we have not raised much but we are still working on that.  10 students were able to join boarding high schools while others joined day schools from the neighbourhood.  3 of them were able to get full scholarships from different supporters and for the rest their parents and guardians are working hard to ensure they are in schools.  Those in primary school are proceeding on well with challenges here and there but we are happy they are slowly coping and more importantly still going to school despite the challenges.  We had requested the relevant government offices to consider supporting the very venerable households but unfortunately not much has been done towards that direction.  A few have benefited from Community Development Fund (CDF) bursary and we are still pushing them to consider providing the same to more very needy pupils from the area.  We hope they will honor our request and have more pupils from benefiting from Mukinyai area.  We thank all those who have supported the community in different ways be blessed.
