Story

Would you consider donating to Kiteghe Primary School in a rural area in southern Kenya...

£3.00 (about $5 in USA) will feed 2 children for an entire month!

£18 (about $30 in USA) will feed one child lunch for an entire school year!  (That is less than a night out for us in the USA and UK)

We worked with this school on our visit to Kasigau in January 2014.  African Promise has already replaced delapadated, dark, mud brick buildings with bright and spacious concrete block schools; including libraries, kitchens and improved outhouses for a few schools.  These improvements are still basic, some currently without electricity which is not uncommon in this area.  This work; however has already improved the attendance to this school.  They have right at 200 on roll.

African Promise has several programmes in the works, but the feeding programme is close to our heart.  With your donation, they can provide a meal of beans and rice to these precious students.  This will not only keep their minds and bodies fueled, but it could also keep them at school all day.  Currently they walk home, some long distances, and then some don't return for the afternoon lessons.  This programme will also help schools grow crops so meals can ocassionally be supplemented with nutritious green vegetables.  

A healthy, well-fed, well-watered child is a child more able to concentrate and learn.  African Promise has made futures brighter already for this school.  Please help us, to help African Promise continue to support hope for a better future for these children.

Thank you so much...pass it on.  We can make a difference together.
