Education Fund
In November 2021, 5 calves were purchased for One for One students in Amagoro. The students and their families will raise these calves with tender love and care, because they represent a big investment for their children’s education.
In the next few years when the calves are mature, the cows will be bred. Their investment will grow when the cows birth calves. Then families have the option to sell the calves to generate funds for school expenses for their children or to raise them and sell them as mature cows.
The student’s sponsors provided the funding for the calves. It is an “out of the box” education fund, but it works!
2021 Grade 9 Students
It all begins with an idea.
We are pleased to announce that for the 2021 school year, GAM has provided scholarships for six students entering secondary school!
Three of these students are from our One for One scholarship program. Sponsors have been supporting these students for a number of years. They have graduated and achieved exceptional marks on their KCPE Grade 8 national exams. These three students are Lyncolyne, Ruth and Zeal. Way to go! We are proud of you!
As well, we added three students to our secondary school scholarship program. Emmanuel, Naomi and Samuel are siblings of students already in our scholarship programs. They also have done exceptionally well on their KCPE Grade 8 national exams and obtained admission into top notch national secondary schools.
Some of these students are in need of scholarships. Please consider donating to our scholarships programs, in order for these students to continue their education beyond primary school.
2021 CAP RIDE in support of girl’s education in Kenya!
It all begins with an idea.
EVERY GIRL HAS A RIGHT TO BE EDUCATED
In 2016, Graceland Africa Mission launched Right to be, a girls scholarship program dedicated to helping Kenyan girls obtain secondary and post-secondary school education and training. Girls are chosen based on their financial need, their ability and desire to continue their studies, and the agreement of their families to allow the girls to pursue secondary and post-secondary education.
Secondary school, college, and university is very expensive for Kenyans. Often it is the girls in Kenya who are left behind when family funds are tight. The pandemic has made this situation even worse. We currently have over 20 girls registered in our Right to Be scholarship program. Yet our financial resources are unable to cover the school expenses of many of these girls.
2021 CAP WALK/RUN/BIKE-A-THON
The 2021 Canada Africa Partnership (CAP) WALK/RUN/RIDE was a huge success. With 13 participants on 3 teams, we raised $7371 for girls education! Thank you so much to all of your who participated and donated. This was our first time joining the 15 km CAP Ride and we plan to do it again in 2022! Won’t you join us?
Below are photos of some of the participants!
