Dear friends,
As you might now, I've been appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) of The Kilgoris Project (TKP) which runs 10 schools in Kenya, along with supporting healthcare and nutrition programs too.
Please join "Rory's Team" to help the The Kilgoris Project (TKP) give the children of the Maasai Mara an education, basic healthcare and nutrition programs as a start to their lives: Every school day you can help TKP:
FILL 40 classrooms in 10 schools with excited students- and we're building 6 more classrooms this year before the new school year starts in January 2019.
SUPPORT 48 teachers pouring their love and wisdom into kids. (They are my heroes!).
SERVE 2,600 meals at 10 schools everyday (over 408,600 meal served in 2017).
CREATE a community where 1,300 eager (and energetic) students are loved and educated each day.
When you invest in TKP's Back-to-School Challenge you ignite the dreams, journeys and confidence of more than 1,300 students in rural Kenya.
Did you know...$2,700 funds an entire TKP classroom for the whole school year? That's our team aim to support a teacher salary with their healthcare benefits, plus the class enrichment programs, equipment and supplies, including adding the new year's syllabus to the Kindles (which are charged everyday by solar panels, since there is no electricity).
Let's do this together, as part of my team. It will be something worthy for you to feel good about every day! Since you will be part of the Kilgoris family, I'll promise to keep you updated on all my work there and hopefully give you- or your children- the chance to join in and meet some of these resiliant, cheerful children and teachers one day too.
There's plenty of other news happening every week too. As COO, I'm responsible for all the building projects including drilling new wells, building incinerators and running the two sustainable farm businesses, where we are growing food and now some traditional Maasai medicine trees for the villager elders too.
When you donate to the Back-to-School campaign you give these kids a rich environment to learn and grow. And the opportunity to extend their education for years to come.
Every day I see what a difference your support is making. I will make sure you get to see those results too, as you become a member of the TKP family. My new personal endeavor is to grow more food for the schools and provide better medicines for the children, since you can’t learn if you’re feeling hungry or sick, can you?
Pease help me and join my team even if it's only $10-$20 or $100 -$200, all that money goes a long way in supporting our students and the amazing teachers! To make it easier, you can even text kilgoris to 41411 and choose Rory’s team.
"Asante Sana !", which is Thank You! in Swahili.
Please give as generously as possible and also spread this news, especially to any experienced “Africa hands", since they will know how magical the school kids are there! We can really improve their lives. Also see if you can get your company to offer a matching tax-free donation. We will do all the paperwork for you.
With very grateful thanks again, Karibu!
Rory xoxo
