Sponsor A Child
We firmly believe that a basic education is the key to a more hopeful future for the children of Kenya. While primary education (K-8) is provided free by the government, our students need uniforms, shoes, money for books and fees, as well as a nourishing daily meal. Your monthly gift of $40 per month helps us provide all of these, and keeps that child in school. Please scroll down to see children waiting for your sponsorship.

Blessing is a very jovial boy who lives in the Kibera slum with his parents and one brother who is 16 years old. He loves going to school but has had challenges with his education. Blessing's father works as a shopkeeper in the slum and can't provide for the family's basic needs and also school fees.
Kibera is the name of an area located within the heart of the capital of Nairobi. It is the third largest slum in the world with over a million people living in a very small area. Life in Kibera is difficult, with most of its residents living in extreme poverty earning less than a dollar a day. Kibera is a maze of narrow, deeply rutted alleys lined with mud and corrugated metal houses. The majority living here lack the most basic services such as electricity, clean water, and medical care.

Kenedy Memusi
ILK-M77
11/15/2007
Kenedy has two brothers and three sisters. Their parents had depended on burning and selling charcoal to support the family but the government has now declared the charcoal business to be illegal. As a result, the parents are no longer able to provide for school fees as well as to provide for the family's basic needs.
Kenedy comes from the remote community of Ilkerine, located in the heart of the Maasai tribe. This community is at a mile high elevation. The majority of people live in mud houses with no electricity and no running water. The Maasai people are herdsmen and depend on their livestock for their livelihood. Often the baby animals are kept in a small room inside their mud houses. Walking is the main mode of transportation, and it is not uncommon for children to walk five miles or more to school.
