Providing Kiteghe School Children in Rural Kenya with Nutritious Meals
Fundraising for African Promise
Story
You can make a difference in the life of a child and their community.
Around $20-$25 will feed one child lunch for an entire school year! (That is less than a night out for us in the USA and UK.)
Would you consider giving a little to make a real difference in a child's life? People like you have been helping us feed and support the children of Kiteghe Primary in rural Kenya since 2014. We could not do it without your kindness and generosity.
We worked with this school on our visit to Kasigau in January 2014. We returned with a desire in our hearts to make a difference to this community.
African Promise has a holistic approach to education. They work to improve and build school buildings and infrastructure, fund additional teachers' salaries so class sizes can be smaller (30's instead of 60's), provide school meals, textbooks, and water collection tanks for drinking water. As a result of this excellent work, attendance has already improved in their partner schools.
We have teamed up with African Promise as they have several programs in the works already. The feeding program is close to our heart. With help from people like you, we were able to raise over $20,000 to feed the whole school for the 2015 - 2019 school years! With your donation, they can provide a meal of beans and rice or beans and corn to these precious students. This will not only keep their minds and bodies fueled, but it could also keep them at school all day. In the past, student have walked home during the lunch hour, some long distances, and then not all would return for the afternoon lessons. Those that did return may have done so with an empty tummy. Some children may not have even attended school at all, but do now to take advantage of this program. This program will also help schools grow crops so meals can occasionally be supplemented with nutritious green vegetables.
Together we can make a positive impact here in Kiteghe. We couldn't do it without your help. Thank you!
