Our incredibly successful scholarship program takes young people from our Kibera Primary School and helps them to further their education into secondary school, college, and university. Here is the record of 5 years of amazing growth.
- From 14 to 121 high school students
- From 14 to 41 students yearly that pass their entrance exam
- From 1 to 15 college students
- From no sponsors to 89 sponsors from 17 different states.
- From a staff of 2 to a staff of 7
- From a yearly budget of $4,200 to a yearly budget of $70,000
This incredible record of growth in such a short period of time presents incredible challenges as well. We now have 41 brand new high school freshman who are in need of a scholarship in order to attend secondary school in 2015. We have allowed these young people to enter school in a bold step of faith and we are searching for new sponsors who will commit to $30 or $50 dollars per month to cover the cost of either day school or boarding school for one of these wonderful young people. This is one of the very best investments you could ever make, literally giving these young people a chance for a future.
