Our founder heard of the dire need in our communities and started sponsoring a few kids through school. She financed the studies of a few kids as the need arose. As more children needed help, the community leaders made her aware of it and it was clear that the needs were more than she could cover; the kids wanted to stay in school but couldn’t afford to. The alternative was staying at home, and that sometimes meant living without parents, living with parents who struggle with drug use and abuse, or being left for the streets. Our founder quickly learned that school gave these kids a purpose. The kids who once struggled through school because they couldn’t afford to pay tuition; got a renewed sense of hope and excelled through school and arose as leaders amongst their peers. It became clear that keeping the children in school was improving their lives and their family lives. The cause became larger than envisioned, leading to the birth of this non-profit organization.
