Sponsor a Child
Kisima’s director reports that once the children know they have a sponsor they hold their heads higher, have a spring in their step, and show a renewed dedication to their schoolwork. Sponsor a child for $300 per year. Younger students require two sponsors for full support while older students need at least three. The cost of books and exams during their last two years is quite high. Sponsor a teacher for $400 per year. Each teacher needs four sponsors for full support. When you choose or are assigned a child it would be great to write a letter to introduce yourself and include a photo. The kids LOVE to receive photos. Please do not send packages because they may not arrive. The address to send letters and photos is Kisima Academy, P.O. Box 74, Postal Code 50211, Naitiri, Kenya.
The new school year has started with all new books for the seventh grade. A new grade is added each year as the children advance in school. Kisima now has preschool through. grade seven. Next year eighth grade will be added to complete the school.
Although the children were able to celebrate Christmas in the new dining hall it wasn't completely finished. Now the walls are plastered and the floor is finished so they're good to go!
