While primary education is free in Kenya, high school education most definitely is not. According to The Standard (a national Kenyan newspaper), 1 out of 3 students in Kenya will not have an opportunity to attend high school. Our Hope 4 Students program is a sponsorship program dedicated to sponsor students who are performing well academically but come from poor backgrounds with many hardships. With a poor enrollment and a high dropout rate in secondary schools throughout Kenya, we have chosen to support students in this area. Through our partnership with Boror High School we are committed to sponsoring students and help them complete their high school education. Our current goal is to sponsor 20 students every year. The lack of clean water is a major crisis affecting the world today. Water is available, but the problem lies in accessing it; installing a water-catchment system to collect rain water is a simple, cost-efficient solution to this problem. During the rainy seasons, Kirobon Primary School experiences flooding of classrooms and erosion of their land which in turn destroys their crops and lack of water at the school. To solve this we will need to install rain gutters to collect the rain water from the classrooms rooftops and build a water tank to store the rain water. Once this program is completed this will lead to better health and sanitation and a better learning environment for the school. Many students in here in America have opportunities in school to be involved in band, drum line, orchestra etc. It’s a different case for students at Ogilgei Primary School; apart from academic work, they have almost nothing to do outside of class. Through our recent visit to the school in May 2011 the head teacher identified this as a problem at the school. He suggested we help support the schools in providing various musical instruments, so the students can compete with other schools in Music Festivals. A typical school day in Kenya can start as early as 6 a.m and go until 6 p.m. But this will only be possible with the availability of electricity. Kirobon Primary School is lacking this asset and we would like to fix that. We will work with the school administration and the local electricians to install electricity in the current eight classrooms and two offices. During our trip to Kenya in May 2010, Ogilgei Primary School requested provision of computers for their the school. We knew this was a program we could make a reality and through the partnership between the club at Iowa State and Tipping Bucket, Hope 4 Africa was able to raise $2700 to help provide 10 computers. In May 2011, we witnessed the completion of this program while we were in Kenya. In May 2010 we visited the schools in Kenya where we completed our Books 4 Hope program. We donated a total of 1774 textbooks and schools supplies and as a follow up program, the schools requested that we help plant trees at their schools. During our recent visit to Kenya in May 2011 we were able to plant over 1200 trees at Kirobon Primary School and Ogigei Primary School. In summer 2009 Moses visited four schools in Kenya. It was very evident that none of these schools had sufficient textbooks and library books. In summer 2010, through the support of our gracious donors we were able provide 1774 textbooks and library books to our four partner schools.
