Building A Foundation of Character Attracts A New Story Foundation

A Virtues Pick To Begin The Day

We would like to take this opportunity to share our appreciation for your ongoing support. Even while a pandemic continues to challenge us all, you continue to provide us support. Your generosity helps to facilitate the wellness of our pupils and their parents, and in turn, our pupils progress in education and in life.

We are indeed grateful and thankful for the great transformation of our school in so many positive ways. There is money to help with school fees, food for the lunch program, school supplies, and school uniforms. You have continually put smiles on both the parent's and our pupil's faces.

The joyful atmosphere of being a virtuous school has made the population of the school grow rapidly and improved the performance of the school academically. Our school has been ranked as the most child-friendly school thus attracting people to come in and give us even more support:

Our MP (member of parliament) has decided to build us a story-building and already the foundation has been laid. We are thankful for the virtues programs that have attracted these gifts. We have also been blessed with a new headteacher that is very supportive of the virtues and has contributed to the spread of virtues.

Our parents have become even more supportive, and now we have been able to purchase a bullock in support of our table banking, an addition to the poultry project. Monies raised support the needs of our pupils and our school.

We are indeed grateful and thankful for the great transformation of the school. Thank you very much for standing by us in times of need. May you be blessed abundantly for your service, generosity, and compassion.

Something To Smile About During The Pandemic

By Judith Opieba | Project Leader

Judith Opieba Facilitating Teacher Training

Although the Covid 19 pandemic struck and altered all of our operations, we are fine because we have something that keeps us strong, our virtues; and worth smiling, the great efforts of our students and teachers that virtues inspire. Our class eight exams have left us all smiles despite the odds against us. The diligence, determination, and purposefulness our students practiced leading to high performance are worth celebrating! And so are our wonderful teachers who rose to the challenge to see to it that we helped our online learners who couldn't afford online lessons. We honor our teachers for their purposefulness, kindness, commitment, and sacrifice for following through to ensure that our learners were indeed prepared to match those attending online classes.

Our highest academic achievement candidates had 390 marks and followed each other closely. And before the celebration could calm down, there was the release of the Form Four KCSE Exams where one of our very own emerged as the highest score for a girl in the Subcounty, scooping a B+ mean grade of 70 points. What a remarkable performance from an orphan who struggles and gets help from a widow (who also happens to be her teacher) and who cannot possibly offer everything that the girl needs. Indeed, the virtues of commitment, purposeful, diligence, and determination are working to bring change. She has beaten the odds coming from a humble school, Kilimo Girls, when competing with girls from big schools with big names and affluent families.

We thank you for your continued generous support that is helping us change society by bringing up boys and girls with a good education. We thank you again for the water tanks, your first gesture of support to us, that have played a tremendous role, especially during this Covid19 pandemic, because our learners have been able to sanitize and wash hands as many times as needed to curb the spread of the disease. We thank you for the lunch program, snacks, and especially our spiritual nourishment through The Virtues Project program. We thank you for finding someone in Africa to help us fundraise here in our country too. We trust that he will join hands with others and help us continue putting smiles on the faces of many.

Our biggest challenge now is how to help our orphans, and others, join universities. Thank you so much for standing with us. We see your humanity!
