Asante Aid Learning Haven

Project ID: 69449

Dear Supporters,

We are deeply grateful for your continued belief in our mission to empower children through education. Even the smallest contributions, such as the $8.58 received during this period, represent a powerful vote of confidence in our work and help us move one step closer to realizing the Asante Aid Educational Centre in Kilifi County, Kenya.

Though the funds received this quarter have not yet been spent, we remain actively engaged in planning and mobilization efforts. Here are a few updates from the field:

Planning Progress

• We have finalized the architectural concept for the Educational Centre, which will include classrooms, a library, and accessible facilities for students with disabilities.
• Our team is currently refining the budget to prioritize long-term sustainability, incorporating features such as solar energy and rainwater harvesting systems.
• We continue to engage with local stakeholders, teachers, parents, and community leaders to ensure the centre reflects the needs and aspirations of those it will serve.

Organizational Work

• We’ve submitted proposals to several potential donors and partners, and are actively following up to secure larger funding commitments.
• Our communications team is preparing a campaign to raise awareness about the project and its transformative potential for over 3,500 students.

Story from the Field

Recently, we visited one of the eight schools previously built with support from RED CHAIRity and other partners. There, we met Amina, a 12-year-old student who shared how access to a safe classroom and books has changed her life. Her dream is to become a teacher and help other children in her village learn to read. Stories like Amina’s fuel our determination to expand access to quality education through the Asante Aid Educational Centre.
