Meet the Kids: Our Inspiration for Upcoming Projects
the kids are the reason we do what we do!
You'll notice from the video above that the children are served (and eat) meals outside - under a tree.
named spaces (legacy gifts)
Welcome to our 'Named Spaces' initiative! Our new naming initiative offers a unique chance for you to leave a lasting legacy - that will resonate through generations - by putting your name, or that of a loved one, on our key facilities, starting with our new dining hall:
The next thing we plan to build is a Dining Hall
The dining hall needs a donor
Will you be the one to sponsor the construction of a Dining Hall - and provide all of the following functionality?:

Reasons Why We Need a Dining Hall
Health and Hygiene: A dedicated dining hall will provide a clean and safe environment for meals, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Weather Protection: The dining hall will offer shelter from rain, sun, and other weather conditions, ensuring students can eat comfortably year-round.
Nutrition Programs: A dining hall can support structured nutrition programs, ensuring all students receive balanced and nutritious meals.
Community Engagement: The dining hall can serve as a central place for community activities, fostering a stronger school-community bond.
Educational Opportunities: The dining hall can double as a space for nutrition education, teaching students about healthy eating habits.
Additional Uses for the Dining Hall in Kenya
Adult Education Classes: Offering evening or weekend classes for adults to promote literacy and skill development.
Health Clinics: Hosting regular health check-ups and vaccination drives for the community.
Workshops and Seminars: Conducting various educational and vocational training workshops for both students and community members.
Community Gatherings: Providing a venue for local community meetings and discussions on important issues.
Cultural Events: Hosting cultural celebrations, performances, and exhibitions to preserve and promote local traditions and arts.
Emergency Shelter: Serving as a temporary shelter during natural disasters or emergencies.
After the Dining Hall, students could benefit from a Library
the library will also need a named donor
Maybe the bibliophile in you would like to sponsor the construction of a library, instead of something as big as a Dining Hall. (A science laboratory could be part of the same building - with a separate donor.)

Educational Programs: Facilitates programs such as reading clubs, homework help sessions, and literacy workshops.
Teacher Support: Provides teachers with additional resources to enhance their teaching and lesson planning.
Community Resource: Acts as a community hub where both children and adults can access educational resources.
Additional Uses for the Library in Kenya

Workshops and Seminars: Conducting educational workshops on various topics for the community.
Reading Programs: Organizing story hours and reading programs for young children to foster early literacy.
Tutoring Services: Providing space for volunteer tutors to assist students with their studies.

individual classrooms can have named donors
Maybe you don't want to take on something as big as a dining hall or a library. You can become the named donor for an individual classroom (as they are brought up to date in the near future).
