2022-
Due to Covid the children's school year in Kenya only lasted 30 weeks instead of 39 weeks as the government wanted to push for a January 2023 start and get things back to normal. During Covid the schools were closed for 8 months.
Their new school year began in April 2022.
-Paid for School Fees and Boarding Fees for 11 High School Students.
- A blessing was that the government of Kenya decided to waive the school fees for the Primary School Students this year.
High School fees run between $380 and $600 per child and the average is $450. We were grateful for the help from the Kenyan Government.
-Paid for Highschool and Boarding Fees for 8 Highschool Children and School Fees for 3 Primary School Students plus school essentials.
So basically in 2022 we raised money for the equivalent of 2 school years. Thank you so much for our community who helped make this happen.
