One of the most exciting successes of this project is that the primary and secondary school for the street kids and orphans in the project has become number 22 in the Kenyan league tables with students taking highest levels in the nation right across the arts, sports and academic subjects. The sports team are representing East Africa. Many students from the program have been sponsored and qualified in universities in Kenya and around the world in medical, educational, agricultural and sustainability fields.
Students are also offered apprenticeships in building, agriculture, mechanics, hairdressing, tailoring and organic farming. The builders get their training building new homes for the street kids and orphans. So far Global Angels has provided funds for three homes to be built for over 100 children to live in. The organic farming apprentices gain EU qualifications while growing the french beans in the green houses, the rich variety of vegetables and fruit supplying the 1,000 strong community with food and also help reforest Kenya with native trees specially adapted to the climate.
In the photo above, Daniel and Rohan interview a young man who built the stairway they are sitting on. Once a street child himself, he was educated in the project and is now teaching apprentices.
In the gallery below you will see some of the builders at work, the organic gardens, the tailor workshop.
Street kids and orphans don’t have parents or a government to provide their education. We are their chance.
Please Step Up and provide a scholarship for these young people to gain their qualifications or a small micro-loan to help them into their first small business.
