School for a child at the Gede School is year round, with 2 small breaks. They live there, learn there and eat all their meals there! The Kenyan Government provides basic needs for the school. But due to the spcial needs of these children their education takes more than provided. There is a sponsorship program set up with Kupenda for The Children that allows people to help provide financial support to meet the most basic needs of the students.
Sponsorship is $150/year for each child. We as a team decided that we could find enough friends and family to help us sponsor 10 students. If you are interested in sponsoring a child, or contributing to a sponsorship let us know!
Here are the 10 children we have agreed to sponsor:
Katana, 19, Hearing Impaired, Level 4
Said, 6, Cerebral Palsy, Nursery School
Benjiman, 11, Physically Handicapped, Level 3
Francisca, 6, Cerebral Palsy, Nursery School
Stella, 13, CP and PH, Level 3
Ndemba, 14, HI, Level 1
Not Pictured: Hamza, 15, CP, Level 1
As you can see many of the older children are in a low level of school. We learned this is due to the fact that many children do not enter Gede School until they are 10 years old. Most are hidden in their villages and parents do not know where to turn.
We have been deeply touched by the children and staff at the Gede School and hope that you will join us in supporting these special children.
All the best,
Your Kenyan Team
