Improve the education of 2,000 students in Kenya

Because of supporters like you, Hopeful Africa has made tremendous educational impacts in the Kenya. Through continuous investment over the last eight years, totaling over $100,000, here are a fewof the impacts Hopeful Africa has made:

• Reduce student to teacher ratios. Through provision of additional teachers through our teacher support program, Hopeful Africa has reduced the student to teacher ratio from 39.8 to 29.8 in partner schools.
• Increase district rankings based on improved test scores.
• There has been a 72.1 percent improvement in district ranking at Ogilgei Secondary school, who moved from 29th to 10th in the district out of 42 schools. These are the students who were beneficiaries of Hopeful Africa’s investment at Ogilgei Primary School over the years, and are now showing their advancement at the secondary level.
• Ogilgei Primary School has also seen a 66.67 percent increase in district ranking, moving from 6th to 2nd out of 12 schools.
• Kirobon Primary School has achieved a 28.57 percent improvement in district ranking (now 2nd out of 14 schools).
• Increase enrollment rates. Among the seven partner schools, on average there has been a 38.5 percent increase in enrollment.

Hopeful Africa is truly thankful and encouraged by the impact made thus far. This would all not be possible if it weren’t for supporters like you. You have provided  the resources and means to touch the lives of over 3,000 students in Kenya. To capture the impacts of your support, here’s a quote from one of the students we sponsor:

“I remember one time I was sent home for not being able to pay school fees. But now there is a hope in life.” - Edwin
