Dear Supporter,
Merry Christmas from Mombasa!
We have exciting news this holiday season. Donations from supporters, such as yourself, have been invested into a new self-sustaining business plan for our schools to start generating funds by themselves!
The Tuk Tuk Management Business is to generate revenue to help towards the running costs for Olives Rehabilitation Centre. Olives began in 2001 as a day care centre to children in the Bombolulu and surrounding areas. Since 2001 it has grown into a large school teaching up to 400 children from Kindergarten to Standard 8. The education is centred on the Kenyan Curriculum with an opportunity for the children to sit the KCPE (Kenya Certificate of Primary Education) exam in their final year.
The Olives Tuk Tuk Management business will rent out two tuk tuks on a daily basis’s. This will generate enough revenue to cover the running costs of each tuk tuk, the monthly rent payments of Olives Rehabilitation Centre and save for reinvestment to ensure that the business will continue and run successful for future years. All this will enable the school to continue to offer an education that provides their students with a brighter future.
These tuk tuks have been funded through the GVI Charitable Trust from donations and are now registered to Stevens, the Head of Olives Rehabilitation Centre.
We hope you are as excited by this as we are! It is a great chance for the School to move forward.
All the best
GVI Charitable Trust
