SUCCESSFUL women grow from educated girls. It’s our pleasure to take this opportunity to say a BIG thank you all sponsors who donated to enable our girls go to school.This month we are celebrating school performance for the second year when the school scored 377 out of 500 marks in the Kenya Primary examination.

(Jiggers or chigoe fleas, are parasitic arthropods usually found in tropical and sub-tropical climates. Introduced to Sub-Saharan Africa from their native Central and South America, the female 1-mm-long-flea burrows into an exposed skin on the feet of a mammal, remaining there for two weeks while developing eggs. This time, the feet swell dramatically and cause excruciating irritation, a condition called tungiasis that make a victim unable to walk. In serious conditions, a victim may be forced to undergo amputation. Jiggers can easily be controlled through personal hygiene [if one has access to shoies, socks, clean water and soap], and eradication of the fleas [if one has access to the appropriate treatments. Over 2 million Kenyans are currently infected to such a degree it is impacting on the econom
‘’TO EDUCATE GIRLS IS TO REDUCE POVERTY’’ says Kofi Annan.
-A Girl Getting An Education Learns More Than Reading and Arithmetic.
-She Learns That She is Important.
-She Stands Up for Her Rights.
_She goes After Her Dreams.
-And This Kind of Change Happens Fast
-We are helping girls to break out of the vicious cycle that entraps unskilled and resource-poor girls. At-risk girls are maturing into well- educated, emancipated, gainfully, employed and self-sufficient women. These empowered women are the pillars of their families, communities and Nations. When the mother of the home is educated, the health, well-being and success of the entire family is propelled forward and transformed. Educated girls educate the entire nation.
UNICEF reports that in country after country. educating girls yields spectacular social benefits for the current generation and those to come. An educated girl tends to marry later and have healthier children. The children she does have will be more productive at home and better paid in the work place. She will be better able to protect herself against HIV/AIDS and to assume more active role in the social economic and political decision making throughout her life.WWBK aim is to get more girls into school ensure that they stay in school and that they are equipped with basic tools they need to succeed in their future life.
