Njuthine’s original primary school was a shell with dirt floors, no furniture, limited facilities, and almost no teaching materials. No child had qualified to attend secondary school in more than 15 years.
After we provided cement floors, desks, chairs, blackboards, workbooks, a library, computers, and daily hot lunches, attendance increased sharply. Steadily, more children qualified to attend secondary school and morale among teachers and students improved dramatically.
The second year after the school improvements were made, three students qualified for secondary school. The next year five qualified, then eight qualified, and in a few years, almost every student qualified.
Of the original three qualifiers, two now have university degrees.
Goal: $12,000 per year for the Njuthine scholarship program. It costs $350 to educate a child for an entire school year, plus a one-time cost of $300 for a computer. To sponsor a student and help them change the trajectory of their life, click below.
