Students at the Kibera School for Girls face very difficult realities. Over half of our students are orphans and many are HIV positive. All of our students live in absolute poverty, as we seek to provide an education for talented children who are unable to pay even a small fee. All parents at our school are unemployed and face incredible challenges to providing full care to their children. For many of our students their school uniform is the only clothing that they own. Most of our students only eat one meal a day: the lunch served at school. By becoming a sponsor, you can provide for a child’s nutritional, medical and basic material needs while subsidizing the cost of the superior education they receive at the Kibera School for Girls.
Sponsorship
Sponsor a Student: $30 per month, $1 per day
Sponsor a student at The Kibera School for Girls at a crucial stage in childhood development. Our students are in pre-school, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. Your sponsorship provides your student with daily nourishment, helps to supplement the cost of their education (as we do not charge children school fees), pays for soap, shampoo and laundry soap, buys one necessary item of clothing per month (sweaters, shoes, underwear, or a dress). Sponsor funds may also be used to cover the costs of medical examinations, prescription and general medications, eyeglasses, dental work, and even special dietary needs. Unfortunately, without sponsorship funds, these needs and others are often not met.
