Greetings Upendo Friends,
We are grateful for your support and the impact we have made in less than three years.
On February 8, 2023, we held our Trade School groundbreaking ceremony in Nakuru, Kenya. The attendees were some Upendo board members, Avi-IT(first services trip group), the quantity surveyor, the architectural and structural engineer, and the contractor(Davim). We qualified 6 Vendors/contractors before hiring Davim contractors to start excavating the ground. The excavation and dumping of the top cotton soil took two days. The cost was $2941.
Our next goal is to raise $50,000 for the foundation. In the first quarter, we applied for 245 sponsorship and grants and participated in the Little by Little campaign through GlobalGiving.We have opportunities to volunteer with Upendo 2023. Our services trip will be in November 2023 to help with building. Please contact us for more information.
We appreciate your consideration to support and engineering love for orphans and at-risk children. Attached are a few pictures of our trade school in Kenya.
