SPONSORED CHILDREN IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Kisumu, Kenya
Primary school education (children aged 7 to 14) is paid for by the government. All secondary schools are fee paying schools.
Fees vary from school to school, but typical fees for a full four years in secondary school are currently £560.00 (US$ 1120.00) including examination fees.
By nature, very few people can afford to send their children to secondary school. For example, a teacher will earn about £55.00 per month, and a labourer a fraction of that. Grandparents who look after orphaned children have no chance whatsoever to send those in their care to secondary school.

In return she has agreed to train two or three teenage orphan girls who have left primary school, so that they can learn tailoring and dressmaking, and earn their own incomes.

VICTOR ODHIAMBO

Ref: 009-2008
Sponsored to attend Dago Kokore Secondary School.
Starting January 2008.
Attends Alara Primary School Std. 8 in 2007
Aged 13
Victor's mother died in 2005. He lives with his father (Barrack Ogendo) who is unable to work due to a permanently damaged leg and who is confined to bed. Although not a full orphan, Victor is a special case. Moreso, because he is young at only 13 years old. We have spoken with the head teacher at Dago Kokore Secondary School who has agreed to take him. Victor is a really bright young man ahead of his age in education and who is a confident communicator. We have great hopes for his success in the future.

If you would like to sponsor a child to attend secondary school for four years, then please click on the "Donate" button. The fees for a full four years in secondary school are currently £560.00 (US$ 1120.00) including examination fees. Please follow up with an e-mail to us at info@helpkenyakids.org
Payments are accepted securely though Paypal in any currency.
We really appreciate your donations, and the Kenyans will too!
Remember, we don't take anything out of the fund for our trips and expenses, nothing comes out for administration costs. Every penny of donations gets put to good, direct use.

If you fancy coming with us on one of our future trips to Kisumu, then let us know. We'll not hide the fact that you will pay for your trip expenses, the hotel where we stay in Kisumu isn't 5 star (its cheap and basic, but OK), you will need lots of inoculations, and you will eat basic food. But, you will have a life-changing experience, and you will want to go back again and become even more involved.
