Greetings!
Two KSHP-sponsored girls entered university last month - our first graduates to achieve the 'impossible dream'. Millicent Onyango and Winny Omwa, both orphaned during their high school years, succeeded against all odds. Supported in high school through our 'Sponsor a Student' program, Millicent and Winny have become the role models and inspiration of every schoolgirl in Kendu Bay. They have proven that it can be done!
Social empowerment and enduring change begin with education. Millicent and Winny were given the chance to become self-reliant young women who will one day support their families and encourage their children's education. KSHP has not done this for them -- we have only lifted the barriers and opened the way.
The good news - and our great challenge - is that our students are qualifying for university studies. Isaac Opar, for example, received invitation last week to study Law at Nairobi University. A top student throughout high school, Isaac has no resources to match our tuition scholarship.
We are in present need of donations to support university students like Isaac. Let us prevent the dream from slipping from their fingers. ALL DONATIONS ARE WELCOME. Donate Now

Isaac, Millicent and Winny confirm the effectiveness of our Sponsor a Student program. This comprehensive scholarship program links sponsors to high-achieving destitute students so they may gain a high school education. The program provides each student with a network of services that includes school fees, room and board, academic and social mentoring, home/ school visits, tutoring, medical and personal support integral to helping each student be socially and academically successful.
