Building Brighter Futures:
Help us Build a School!
We have seen the need for quality education in Kenya, and we're responding. Help us empower children through education and God's love.
We purchased land and broke ground in 2020.
Our goal is to complete the rest of Phase 1 in 2020:
- Build 4 classrooms and office space
- Build 1 dormitory of student housing
- Purchase desks, desks, chairs, tables, and other classroom furnishings
- Fence part of the property to make the site secure
- Plant gardens to grow food for student meals
- Plant trees to protect area from wind and sun
Total cost for Phase 1 = $252,000
Total raised to date = $125,000
Still needed in 2020 = $127,000
Proposed Plan:
*Purchase land in Nanyuki, Kenya
*Build a K-8 school on the land; move all existing programs there
*Increase the number of children we serve by 150+
*Provide quality education and safe boarding facility for children in need
*Train Kenyan teachers in literacy and hands-on learning instruction
*Construct housing for hosting mentor teachers from the U.S.
