Sponsor a Kenyan Child's Education

We are happy to inform you that the children in our Child Sponsorship Program are excelling in school this year, and are already talking (with excitement) about how much they are looking forward to going back to school next year. But, we need your help to make this happen!

As we get closer to the end of the year, we are becoming more aware of Action Two Africa’s need to raise money to support the children in our Child Sponsorship Program for 2019. We currently have six children in the Program who will need financial support for their schooling in 2019, and we are far from meeting our monetary goal to aid in their education. Many of the parents and students are checking in with our partner, Humphrey, to find out if they will in fact be able to go to school next year, and we don’t have a solid answer for them.  We wanted to ask you, our friends, family, and supporters, to help us start off 2019 with a guarantee that we can keep all of these children in school, and continue to work towards empowering youth in Kenya.

While we know that you may never have the opportunity to meet the children in our program, they're no different than children here in America. They want the same things: hope, stability, and a brighter future. Your financial support can help them see the light at the end of that tunnel.

On behalf of all of the children and families you have supported in the past, thank you. Thank you for all that you have done, and for your continued support.  Let's continue to work together and provide these six students with the security of knowing they will be able to go to school in 2019!

 

Tears streamed down Godfrey’s cheeks as he explained how, one day, he wanted to become a teacher. His eyes averted, he struggled to summon the words to explain just how passionate he was about arming the next generation with the most powerful weapon of all: education.

It’s been over two years since Godfrey and his mother first came into our offices at Action Two Africa to ask for assistance with paying his school fees. Humphrey already knew his family. Godfrey was the eldest of three children. His mother sold vegetables at a roadside stand, and his father was a casual laborer. But even between the two of them, they didn’t make enough to keep all three children in school, so they reached out to Action Two Africa for help.

Two years later, Godfrey is a recent graduate from St. Patrick’s Secondary School in Nairobi. He was also recently accepted to the university, where he plans to pursue his degree in education. But in the meantime, as he waits to report for the first day of classes, Godfrey has chosen to spend his days doing something that embodies the mission of Action Two Africa: give back to his local community.

Godfrey is currently volunteering as a teacher in a local school in Kiambiu, teaching 2nd and 3rd graders. He is excited and determined to bring change to his community. As he told Humphrey during a recent conversation, “Not even the sky is the limit for what I plan to achieve."
