Students in Need of a Secondary Scholarship
In the Rusinga Island District of Kenya most children do not get the opportunity to attend school beyond 8th grade.
To see a community really rise out of poverty, we believe, education is the first step.
Journey4YOUth has provided over 100 sponsorships to children in preschool-elementary school for several years. Every year more and more of these kids are graduating out of 8th grade with no opportunity to continue their education. One year in high school costs $400-$600 depending on the school. This includes tuition, room, board, a uniform and books. The average family lives on $1 a day or less.
The community developed a process to select the students to receive this sponsorship based on grades, behavior, community involvement and vulnerability/need.
We are asking many people to give what they can. Our elementary scholarships are $30 a year so for every 10-20 people who give $30 we can offer one more scholarship and truly try to make a lasting impact in these young peoples lives.
The total amount given will determine how many scholarships we are able to offer. The community will select which students will receive them and we will then keep you updated with their progress.
