Education is key to escape a lifetime of poverty in our communities.
We believe that under no circumstance should a child be subjected to an undesirable school environment. In the communities we are serving, children struggle to choose between enjoying their right to education and staying safe. They are forced to study in deplorable conditions and squeeze in tiny and often temporary structured classrooms, unable to withstand harsh weather and rain, while sharing scarcely available resources with classmates.
When GEM Wellington School from the United Arab Emirates visited Kenya, one of the schools was at the verge of closure affecting a majority of the children who solely depend on our free education and meals.
The GEM Wellington, under supervison of Jonathan, provided clothes, food, and constructed two classrooms and were rewarded with tears and huge smiles from the more than grateful grateful children. Their work gives our unprivileged children hope.
Hope makes things possible and hope keeps the children moving forward.
