Buy a Cow to Educate a HS Student in Rural Kenya

I am happy to report that this has been the best year! We had 25 students sitting for their final primary exams. They started their exams on the 4^th November 2019 and finished on the 7^th.  The students were confident because the teachers sacrificed all their time and gave them whatever they needed to pass their exams.

We are very grateful for the changes in the ministry of Education. The results for the entire country were released on the 20^th November which has never been the case. They used to release the exams after two months and the students would join high school in February.  It is different now because we already know how our children performed and the schools they will be joining in January.  There is enough time to prepare and get whatever is needed before they join.

The good news is that our students passed their exams, the pass mark is 250 marks and our last student had 272 marks. We only had 3 students who scored below 320 but the rest scored above 350 marks.  The first four scored above 400 marks out of 500.  I believe our students have done very well and they are all joining good schools in the country.

We will repeatedly say, you have done it.  Without your commitment and support these poor children wouldn’t be where they are right now.  As our mission states ‘  to bring lasting and positive change to the lives of orphaned, poor, vulnerable children and women, through front line work, prevention and advocacy’, I can prove to you that you are making it happen. 

Thank you so much for providing our children with a good learning environment, meals and other necessities needed for learning. We have no enough words to express all that you do but the results are speaking.

As we get to the end of the year consider sharing this good cause with your family, friends and even on your social media walls.  Consider giving to this wonderful cause to enable our lovely children join high school next year.

Holidays are just over and it’s back to school.  We had wonderful moments with the high school students.  Our mentorship and career development program was wonderful, all the high school and university sponsored students attended.  We were privileged to have some of our sponsors on the ground and this gave it a meaning.  We also invited all the guardians to this program and get to know more about the children in their care and know their roles in these children’s lives.  It was meaningful for them to hear from our sponsors as well.

During the program we invited a computer technician to educate our students about media, the advantages and disadvantages.  We felt there was a need for our students to know how to use the media well.  He also advised those who are studying computer science and technology and this went so well.  We invited one doctor, nurse, teacher, secretary, pastor, musician and a guard.  We wanted the students to hear from those who are already in the field, to understand what it takes to achieve your goal in any career.

We also had birthday celebration for all the students, this was wonderful!  Most of our students never celebrate their birthdays, some don’t know their birthdates, and we are grateful that through this program we can give them an opportunity to celebrate and even receive a gift from us. 

We are very much grateful that you are able to help us do all these for the needy.  You might not be able to feel how big the impact is but I can assure you that you have given hope to the hopeless. The high school students narrated their stories and encouraged the young ones who are still in primary school. They shared with them their experiences and without your support this would not be happening. You have helped us to put the Tumaini family together, filled with joy and happiness.

Census has been going on in our country for the last one week and therefor the school opening day was postponed.  The schools are opening on the 2^nd September and we are ready to send the students back to school.

Lastly we have 150 children in primary school who need sponsorship.  We are kindly requesting you to share with others the good work you are doing in the lives of the needy and invite them to our family.  We needy sponsors for our children and we can only have them through you.  By sharing with families and friends, we will achieve.  We are very much grateful for what you are doing. The difference you are making is beyond imaginations!  Thank you
