Dear friends and supporters,
Since our last update in July, life at our school in Kenya has continued with the same heart and dedication, thanks to your incredible support. Each morning, children still line up for their first bowl of cereal, a simple meal that gives them energy, focus, and dignity. It may seem small, but it makes a huge difference in their ability to learn and grow.
Over the past few months, we’ve faced challenges, as donations have slowed and our shelves have looked a little bare at times. But with careful planning and community support, we have kept every child fed, and the school day continues with laughter, learning, and curiosity. Fruit bowls at morning break, rice and beans at lunch, and clean water remain constants in their daily routine.
Our single cook continues to work tirelessly to prepare every meal with care and love. While it is a heavy responsibility, her dedication ensures that no child goes hungry. With your support, we hope one day soon to return to a two-cook system and restore chicken, vegetables, and more variety to the menu.
On the sustainability front, progress continues. Our vegetable garden and fruit tree initiative has reached 40% of its target, bringing us closer to a future where children can enjoy fresh produce grown right on the school grounds. By 2026, we expect the garden and fruit trees to supply a meaningful portion of the school’s meals, helping reduce costs and provide reliable access to fresh food.
In addition to meals, your donations continue to cover essentials like school uniforms, stationery, and weekend food parcels. These contributions ensure that every child feels part of the school community and has the tools they need to succeed. Your support makes every bowl of cereal, every plate of rice and beans, and every day of learning possible.
We are also excited to be part of the Action Change Impact Advent Calendar this year. By purchasing your calendar today, starting December 1st, you’ll be supporting 24 inspiring projects like ours, spreading hope, care, and impact every day of the season. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/advent-2025/
Thank you for standing with us, for the children, and for the future we are building together.
