L.E.A.R.N.: September 2015

StoneHouse Academy and L.E.A.R.N.

We're at the beginning of the last school term of the year 2015. It’s been a good year. Students are happy and learning. Our teachers are dedicated and hard working.

As we continue to provide education for the poorest area in Nakuru we need sponsors.

These children love to go to school and see education as a way out of the slums. They want to help their families who didn’t have the opportunity to go to school. Some of them are orphans, some have only one parent, usually the mom. Some have both parents who never went to school or weren’t able to finish school. The average income in this area is 100 - 200 ksh, [about $1.00 - $2.00] a day. The struggle is to pay rent and put food on the table... and then there’s not enough for school fees. Most live without electricity or running water. They use candle light and Kerosene lanterns, and carry water from a distance, every day.

The L.E.A.R.N. program is dedicated to helping these families and children. They are so grateful. Just take a few minutes to look at these pictures and read their letters to see if any of these kids strikes a note in your heart. You can sponsor a child for $25 a month, or $100.00 a term for 3 terms a year, or $300.00 a year.
