Hello! I hope you are fine in the United States of America. My name is Morgan and I learn at the Kijana Global Innovation School. I am in class seven. My favorite color is blue because to me it is a colour of calmness and happiness. My favorite animal is a dog. I like them because of their playfulness and sometimes they help with security. I like football because when I play it I am happy and I exercise .

I like riding my bicycle for fun and also reading books. I read them in my leisure time because when I do, I feel that I am using my leisure time correctly. When I grow up, I would want to be an aeronautic engineer in the future because it will help me to earn a living and I would maybe fulfill my dream of flying in an aeroplane.

My favorite subjects are mathematics and science. I like them because I like when I solve questions. I like science because our teacher teaches us until we understand and he is also an understanding teacher. I like him because of his understanding nature.

I would like to tell people who have never been to Kenya that you are welcome and Kenya is a nice place to be. When you come to Kenya, I hope you will enjoy seeing wild animals and wildlife centers and drainage and relief features.

I like the language we speak in our community. When I visit the United States of America, I would like to know the history of the leaders and also see the features and creatures which are found there.

My closest person is Madam Prideluck from Kijana. I like her because of her politeness, and she also gives me storybooks to read.

My friends describe me as a cool person and a helpful friend. If you were to donate your sponsorship to me, I would appreciate you and would wish to know you. Thank you.

What You're Providing

If you’d like to learn more about Kenyan food, click here for Ebby, our Kenyan director’s, recipes and taste what your student might be eating.

Hot Meals

The meals we provide our students include an early lunch and and a Kenyan tea time. Our lunches often include locally-grown greens called sukuma wiki (kale) and ugali with fixin’s prepared by our on campus cook who sources everything from our school garden or the local market.

Our tea time includes traditional Kenyan tea and may include a Kenyan staple or snack like Kenyan sambusas, chapati, or kebabs

For some students this may be their first or main meal of the day so Community Champions and Scholar Benefactors are greatly appreciated for making not only a difference in their education but in their general health.

School Supplies

Recently enrolled children becoming students and receiving their supplies for the year–thanks to generous donors like you.

Extracurricular activities, art lessons, and crafts that enhance a child’s learning experience. Donors that sponsor their full supplies for the year make extra fun, creative, and more fulfilling activities and lessons like this possible

Transportation

Our school operates two of state-of-the-art buses and one van to pick up students so they don’t spend their day walking to school through rural Kenya which can have wild dogs or other dangers like the busy road up the street.

By sponsoring their transportation, you make their commute a safer one that allows them to save their energy for learning and play and gets them home early for supper.

Uniforms

If you ever come to visit, you’ll find that Kenyan children regard school very differently than many of their US counterparts. Kenyan students wear their uniforms with pride and take fastidious care of them. Going to school is a great honor and privilege to their families and their uniform symbolizes that. Many students come back to the school gates after the bus takes them home just to wave goodbye to their teachers when they leave.

Full Education

When you sponsor a child’s full education, you aren’t just supporting them, you’re supporting the people that nurture, teach, and make their dreams possible. These are their neighbors, their protectors, their advocates, and their mentors, because no quality education is possible without quality and caring teachers and community leaders.

School Fees

When you sponsor a child’s full school fees and education, you are enabling a family in-need to send their child to Kijana’s Global Innovation school at absolutely no cost to them. This also enables Kijana to have a more economically diverse student body. School fees cover everything, from graduation caps to all the details in between. These are often the bits and pieces that make school, well, fun! This includes things like paint for murals, arts and crafts, festival and celebration supplies, field trips, gardening needs, and more. Our students can’t wait to return to school and that’s due, in large part, to the fine details in providing a quality education
