4. Education in Kenya Primary education is free throughout Kenya, but students are still required to buy their uniforms, books, desks, shoes, writing materials, and bring their own lunch, thus street children and children from impoverished families cannot attend school. Secondary school is not free and only the more fortunate families can send their children.

5. Voices of the Children In my class there are 70 pupils. My friend Mary comes with her young brother Jimmy because there is no one to look after him but her. Gladys from MYSA Parents should not make girls to be house helps because the government has given us free education so that we can go to school. Vivian from MYSA I am a single child. In 2005 my parents died of yellow fever and I had to go live with my aunt. My aunt doesnt like me because she makes me wash clothes, utensils, cook, clean the house and do the other chores instead of sending me to school. Whenever I ask her to send me to school she reminds me that Im an orphan, which makes me feel unwanted. I have tried to tell the police and neighbors but no action has been taken so far and I would really like to go to school like my friends. Anonymous from MYSA

Your gift will fund programs to offer food, shelter, education, and opportunities where none were previously available. Your organization can commit to collectively fill 50 envelopes, which yields $1,275.

17. How your money is used: The $7,500 raised will purchase the building and supplies needed to make the restaurant operational. If we do not reach our goal of $7,500, whatever money is raised will be put aside for the restaurant until adequate funds are met. If our goal is reached and the money exceeds the needed amount, then the excess funds will be used for our team to travel to Kenya. Any additional funds raised beyond this point will be used to support the restaurant in continuing operations.
