Buy a Cow to Educate a HS Student in Rural Kenya

It has not been easy in the past six month of Covid 19 pandemic. The schools were closed and all the children were ordered to go back to their parents.  Most of our high schools are boarding schools and therefore all the students went back to their parents/guardians. 

The first two months were better because people could move and go to work but after that there were lockdowns.  This lockdown affected many families because there were no jobs.  Most of the people in rural areas work in farms and are paid $1 per day. The prices of all the commodities increased and this affected our children.  Most of the children depend on the meals served at the school and since they were at home they survived on one meal per day.

Most of the young girls have ended up with early pregnancy and even marriage. We have cases where 14 years girls are pregnant and that means they will not go back to school.

However the schools are being cleaned and the students will report on the 5^th October 2020.  The Candidates will report and the rest of the students will report in three months’ time.

We would like to thank all who have stood with us in helping families through the food distribution program. Most of our children didn’t go hungry, we were able to supply food and at least they had a meal.  We also took care of the girls’ needs, we supplied the washable pads and this has kept all the girls in our care safe.

We are kindly requesting that you share our cause with others. We don’t have enough support towards our high school fees program. Our students will be going back to school soon and we do not have enough fees for them.  We had not completed the first term fee payment.

Be our ambassador from your end.  We highly appreciate your support, commitment and prayer. You put a smile on many faces.   

The year 2020 started well and as an organisation we were very optimistic in several ways. The month of March changed all the plans due to the covid 19 pandemic. All the high schools were closed abruptly and the students sent home immediately.

Our students' education has been affected despite the government's efforts in introducing online learning. This idea has not worked for the children living in the rural areas because of the internet cost involved. In rural areas not many families own TVs nor Radios and this rules out media learning for most of our high school students.

However most of our students are doing well and they are all fine. The good news is that none of our students has been infected by the virus. We have encouraged them to adhere with the governments directives and stay safe.  We can say they have been affected directly especially those who depend on the meals served at the school. The prices for all the commodities have increased by more than fifty percent and its hard for many families to have food on their table. We have just planted and still waiting to harvest in August or so. 

We have a huge burden especially for our children living with guardians and the widows. We have worked tirelessly to see that they have at least one meal per day. We have been able to do food distribution to not only families we support but to more than 200 widows. I would like to thank those who have continued to do a monthly donation, this has helped us serve the orphans and the widows especially during this pandemic. 

We are humbly calling for more support to enable the widows and orphans have at least a meal.  Please share with friends and feel free to do a one time donation to help us during this pandemic. 

On e again thank you for your continued prayers and support.
