University expenses for former street children

Project Report | Apr 1, 2019
The good work continues...

By Theresa Heasman | Development Director

We are delighted to report that both of our boys continue to do well in university.  In our last report, we advised you that Jacob had received his exam results comprising mainly A's and a couple of B's.  Abel received his report for the end of his second year.  An amazing 3 credits (the maximum) in each of the 7 subjects comprising his degree course (BSc Agricultural Economics).  We cannot ask for more! 

Both young men continue with their determination to beat all odds and graduate in hopes of finding a secure future, a world away from the lives they knew on the streets of Kitale town.

We look forward to seeing both Jacob and Abel over the Easter break which will give us a chance to talk to them and make sure that all is well with them. We will also get some up to date photographs for our next report.

So often the perception of street boys is negative but these boys are proof that there are intelligent, deserving youths on the streets, often through no fault of their own, who can perform and do well in life if just given a chance.  Initiatives such as our mobile school will hopefully identify some more bright stars who will follow in the footsteps of Jacob and Abel.

The good work continues...
