A quality education for 150 kids in Kibera, Kenya

When Larry first joined the education programme, he often struggled with focus and discipline—both in class and on the playground. He was bright and energetic but had difficulty channelling that energy productively. Through consistent mentorship and his integration into the Cheza Sports Academy program, Larry began to find direction. 

On the field, he discovered lessons that reached far beyond football. Through teamwork drills and guided reflection sessions, Larry learned the importance of self-control, respect, and patience. His decision-making on the ball improved remarkably, and his understanding of positioning and teamwork became more refined. During July’s friendly matches, his calm composure helped his team maintain defensive shape, a sign of his growing maturity and confidence. Coaches now see him as a player ready for greater competitive opportunities—and as a role model for his peers. 

The transformation hasn’t gone unnoticed in the classroom either. Larry’s class teacher, Mr. Moses, shares:

“Larry has changed so much since joining the Cheza program. He’s more focused, respectful, and takes real responsibility for his learning. You can tell that the discipline he’s building on the field is showing up in his schoolwork too. He’s not just doing better academically—he’s growing into a thoughtful young man.” 

Larry’s story is one of many that show how holistic education—combining academics, mentorship, and extracurricular activities—can unlock a child’s full potential.

Your continued support makes stories like Larry’s possible . By giving towards the education programme, you help transform not just how children learn, but who they become—confident, capable, and ready to shape a brighter future for themselves and those around them.

The children of The Fountain of Hope School have returned for a new term — not just with sharpened pencils, but with sharpened spirits, renewed confidence, and eyes lit with possibility.

Just a short while ago, many of these children faced immense challenges. School was a far-off dream. Some had never held a book of their own; others had never known the comfort of daily breakfast and a warm plate of lunch or a classroom where their voices mattered. But then, they stepped into Fountain of Hope.

At The Fountain of Hope School, learning is more than academics — it’s a lifeline. Through caring teachers and staff, nutritious meals, personal support, and a safe, nurturing environment, the students have begun to believe in something powerful: themselves.

The change goes beyond the classroom — we’ve seen the children grow in resilience, empathy, and leadership. They care for one another, take pride in their school, and believe in their ability to shape their future. And academically, the progress is just as powerful: they’re reading with greater fluency, solving problems with creativity, and approaching each lesson with curiosity and determination.

This week, they have come back full of smiles, ready for a new term. They’re eager to learn, to grow, and to continue rewriting their stories. And we, at Turning Point, couldn’t be prouder to walk this journey alongside them.

Here’s to a new term full of hope, growth, and endless possibility.
