Supporting Mary In her Education

Mary approached me after being sent home from school because she was unable to clear her school fees. The person who had been sponsoring her education recently lost their job and could no longer continue supporting her.

Mary is a well-disciplined and dedicated girl who is determined to learn and build a better future. Unfortunately, her parents are struggling financially and can barely raise enough to meet the costs of her education.

After speaking with her teacher, I learned that Mary also had an outstanding balance from the previous term. If nothing had been done, she would have remained at home, even though she is currently in Grade 9 and preparing for an important stage in her education.

Because I care about her future, I decided to step in. I have already paid part of the fees and committed myself to clearing the remaining balance so that Mary can stay in school without further disruption and complete her Junior School education before proceeding to high school.

But I cannot do this alone.

I am appealing to well-wishers, friends, and anyone who believes in giving a child a chance to learn to join me in supporting Mary. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help keep her in school and give her the opportunity to continue pursuing her education.

Education can change the direction of a child’s life. Together, we can help Mary stay in school and give her hope for a brighter future.

If you would like to support Mary, please reach out to me directly. Every contribution will make a difference.

Thank you to everyone who has supported children’s education and continues to stand with vulnerable families. May God bless you for your kindness and generosity.

A Blessing in a Time of Need

Today, after the church service, I was privileged to bless some of our members living with disabilities with maize to help provide food for them and their families.

At a time when food is scarce, a simple gift like this can mean so much. It is more than just food; it can be an answer to prayer, a reminder that God cares, and a source of hope during a difficult season.

Brother Oluoch, Sister Patricia, and Prisca were deeply grateful and happy to receive the gift. Their joy was a beautiful reminder that even a small act of kindness can make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

May God continue to provide for every family in need and give us hearts that are willing to share what we have with others. 🙏🏽❤️

Helping students in the final days to exams

At school to Pay for Mary her balances before sitting for Mock exams

Praise the Lord!

This month began on a high note, and through every challenge, I continue to thank God for His faithfulness. There have been many hurdles along the way, but God has helped us overcome them one step at a time.

We are now approaching a very important and stressful season for our students. The candidates are only a few days away from their final examinations. I currently have four candidates preparing for their exams, along with a college student, and my heart is deeply concerned about making sure they have what they need to finish well.

Recently, a young girl named Mary was sent home from school because of an outstanding fee balance. She was supposed to sit for her mock examinations, but she could not do so because of the fees. Imagine preparing for one of the most important examinations of your life and then being sent home simply because your family cannot raise the money.

By God’s grace, I was able to step in, pay part of the balance, and plead with her teachers to allow her back to school. I am so grateful that they listened and gave her another opportunity to continue with her studies.

But Mary is not alone.

There are other students facing similar struggles. Some need help with school fees, while others need something as simple as lunch, pocket money, data for their studies, and other basic necessities. These may seem like small needs, but to a student who has nothing, they can make the difference between staying focused in school and struggling every day.

As these young people approach their final examinations, I am asking you to please consider standing with them.Thanks to those who keep them in prayers and support too

Rest in peace, our Beloved grade 8 student

Today, we lay to rest one of our Grade 8 students who passed away after a long illness. She was taken to the hospital following an eye injury, but sadly, she did not make it.

As her body was brought to school to give fellow students and teachers an opportunity to pay their final respects, there was deep pain and sorrow. Many students struggled to see one of their own lying in a casket. The grief was felt deeply by the students, teachers, and parents alike.

This is a painful loss for our school community, but even more so for her family, who are now facing the heartbreaking reality of losing a loved one.

Please join us in praying for her family during this difficult time. May God comfort them, strengthen them, and give them peace as they walk through this season of deep grief.

May her soul rest in eternal peace. 🙏

GRATEFUL FOR THE IMPACT

It is encouraging to see that the great work of supporting girls in school with sanitary pads last term did not go unnoticed.

I was especially happy to see that our efforts were noticed and appreciated by the Principal of Bar Olengo Mixed School, and that my name was featured in the school’s newsletter.

On behalf of everyone who is part of this programme, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you as well. Your support, encouragement, and prayers have made it possible for us to continue this work and make a difference in the lives of these girls.

I truly could not do this without you.

Thank you for standing with us and believing in this work. May God richly bless you for your kindness and support.

Many blessings.
