Some of our beneficiaries from Mukinyai primary sat for their final exams in November 2016 and they are expected to join secondary schools in January 2016. Parents and guardians are in the process of sourcing school fees for them though it is very challenging. Most of them are small-scale farmers who mainly depend on farming for source of income. Last year farmers were challenged by the harsh climate change which resulted in reduced yields and in some areas total crop failure. This has been a challenge to the small-scale farmers and they have to look for another alternative to source income which includes acquiring loans. Some of them have approached us for support but due to limited resources, we have not been able to meet their request and instead refer them to other organizations and other institutions like banks for support. We would wish to support these families but unfortunately, we are a bit low on resources and not in a position to accommodate more scholarships beneficiaries. This year we will work hard towards funds raising so that we can support more disadvantaged people in our society and especially on education and community livelihood. We call upon well-wishers to join us in improving living standards of the needy people in our society. We also thank all those who have supported us and request them to extend their support even this year.
