How to Help
There are many ways to help build the school and support the students. If you desire, your gift can be given to honor a relative or a friend. We’ll send a lovely gift card with pictures and a bit of the story of how the project began.
Sponsor a Student
The cost of tuition, room and board for 1 year is $650, (about $50 per month or $2 per day). You can sponsor a girl at St Francis Xavier or a boy at Archbishop Ndingi. Both are schools of Fr Kiriti’s parish.
Read about Charity, who is sponsored at St. Francis Girls High School by the Key Club at Menlo-Atherton High School in California.
Read about 4 of the Lost Boys of Sudan who are currently enrolled in Archbishop Ndingi.
Host a Fundraiser
Invite your friends to hear about the school and the rest of our project. We do a great powerpoint presentation. We talk about our need for funds, but do not do a “hard sell.”
Help Us Drill a Bore Hole (Well)-
In order to reduce costs we need to have our own water source, in addition to the water harvesting program we now have in place. We can grow more of our own food, plus reduce the high (and rising) cost of purchasing water. Cost depends on the depth needed, but we know there is water under our land. Please contact Margo McAuliffe at margo@kenyahelp.us for more information.
Help us Connect to the Internet
Please contact Margo McAuliffe at margo@kenyahelp.us with any contacts or information on helping the school connect to the Internet.
