Jecinta has just received her letter of acceptance to Secondary School and thanks to your generous donation she will be able to attend! In 1999, Jecinta’s parents were attacked and killed. At that time, her siblings were broken up to live with different family members. Jecinta went to live with her oldest sister who has struggled to pay for her education. In the letter Jecinta sent to LittleDrops, she requested that she be able to finish her schooling so she can teach her brothers and sisters whose guardians were not able to pay their tuition.

Greg and Monica, James, Mark and Lisbet, Bill, Howard, Wat, Dennis, Sterling and Melinda, Maria, Maureen and Nate: thank you for your generous donation! Jecinta and her siblings are so grateful for your gift.

Miracle gained his namesake when his single mother died during childbirth. He has been raised at the Hopeful Grandmothers Orphanage in Kenya and the grannies report that he has thrived from day one.

He is a curious child and can always be found taking apart any electronic device he can get his hands on. Miracle became interested in electronics when he realized that ‘the Grannies’ could make a phone call anywhere in the world from their rural village.

Miracle is pictured here starting Form 1 but will enroll for Form 2 starting January 2011 at Ndururumo High School. His dream is to become a “Computer Geek” as he puts it. Miracle believes that “technology will take humans to the next level” and he wants to be a part of that change.

Thank you William for assisting Miracle by giving him a year of tuition!

Robert was not sure if he would be able to continue to high school this year. He cares for his mother who has been sick since 2000 and relies on his grandfather for assistance to survive.

His grandfather could not afford secondary school tuition. Your donation of  a year’s tuition will ensure Robert does not have to put his education on hold and will secure him a place in one of the top secondary schools in Kenya.

Robert hopes to attend university once he completes high school. Thank you Devon for giving Robert a chance to succeed!

Your contribution to Cecilia’s education has made a world of difference. At 16 Cecilia has already missed the last year of  her education because her mother could not afford to pay tuition.

When her father died in 2007, her mother, also sick with AIDS, took over care of their 7 children. Cecilia scored well in her exams to enter high school but when they could not pay tuition the school sent her home. Cecilia would like to help others once she finishes school paying forward your gift of her education.

Thank you Devon for your support!

Jane is a member of the Turkana tribe in Kenya. This tribe is traditionally known for female circumcision and not educating women. Jane’s successful completion of primary school is considered a huge achievement.

With your donation of a year’s worth of tuition and uniform, we can tell Jane that she will be able to attend one of the top high schools in Kenya! Jane hopes to complete high school and attend college. As an adult Jane would like to work with other needy children giving them the same chances you have given her.

Thank you to James, Ray & Lael, Kandace, Tom S, Tom P, Trish, Alana, Brandon, Yannick, Dennis, Sterling & Melinda, and our anonymous friend for the gift of Jane’s education and to Chris for purchasing Jane’s uniform! You have truly made a difference.

In May we were able to pay for Ann’s Tuition at Njonjo High School in Kenya and your donation will ensure that Ann receives a new set of school uniforms as well. Students at Provincial schools in Kenya must have school uniforms in order to attend. The orphanages that support children like Ann have commented that having nice new uniforms helps the orphans feel better about themselves and more socially accepted amongst the other students at the boarding schools.

Thank you for supporting Ann!

Thank you all for your wonderful support of Serah. Although this first year student at Njonjo High School has had a difficult history, she has dedicated herself to making a difference in her community. Serah scored among the highest in her Kenya Certificate for Primary Education exams.

In her spare time, she champions the VOICE of ORPHANS which is an HIV education program through the Hopeful Grandmothers Orphanage. This program uses drama and traditional dance to educate the community about HIV/AIDS focusing on youth education. To truly understand how impressive this is, you must understand that culturally a person can be shunned in Kenya if they admit association with someone who had AIDS. Serah has shown exceptional leadership skills and bravery amongst her peers. She plans to become a Minister of Health in Kenya.

Larry, Nancy, Margaret, Jennifer, Gleda, Kathleen, Ganesha and Andrew your combined efforts will ensure Serah’s tuition for the next year is paid in full at Njonjo High School. Mark your donation of the school uniform will allow Serah to attend school. Kenya Provincial schools require uniforms in order to attend. Thank you for your donation and you positive impact in Serah’s life!

Earlier this year through generous supporters of SeeYourImpact, we were able to pay for Karimi’s first year of tuition at Ndururumo High School. Now thanks to Daniel’s donation we have been able to pay for Karimi’s school uniform as well! This support provides tremendous relief to the orphanage that took Karimi and his siblings after his father was shot. Karimi continues to focus on his goal to attend college and become an engineer.

Students are not allowed to attend schools in Kenya without a uniform. Daniel, thank you for your generous support of Karimi’s uniform!
