The town people and community are not ready to give up. Working with new innovations in agriculture and new technologies in education there is reason for hope.

The Story: Suzy Peacock Memorial Secondary School is a brand new school in Eldoret, Kenya. The primary source of student enrollment are HIV/AIDS orphans that CRF cares for in this area. CRF started an orphan sponsorship program in 2007 with 35 orphans. The program has grown to over 300 children in 8 different centers located around Eldoret. Over the past 5 years, we have started 5 primary schools, but were missing a high quality secondary school for our older children. Suzy Peacock is the first. The vast majority of our children are not exposed to computers and other technology until post-secondary school. Our hope is to give our kids an opportunity to learn on a device like the Worldreader E-reader. With very limited resources, we hope to give each student access to all the textbooks, literature, and reference material via the internet as they need to excel. We hope to equip them with not only the knowledge contained in the E-readers, but to also develop a comfort level in approaching new technology as they further their education.

The Story: Growing up and living in Kibera, Abdul Kassim saw how women faced a disproportionate amount of challenges and extreme gender inequalities in the slums and decided to start a soccer team for girls called Girls’ Soccer in Kibera in 2002. The idea was to foster a supportive community, providing emotional and mental support for young women in Kibera. The girls picked up the game quickly, and soon they were competing against the community’s boys’ teams. Despite the program’s success, the girls still fell victim to the sad realities of living in Kibera; the program was a good start, but Abdul knew a more systematic change needed to have the impact he hoped for. A school, for instance, could bring about longer-term change. A friend of Abdul’s offered to convert his house to a school, and other friends collected enough funds to buy tables, chairs and textbooks. In 2006, KGSA was established and the first 11 girls attended classes taught by two volunteer teachers. Today, KGSA has 20 full-time staff members and more than 130 students annually. It also provides various artistic and athletic programs aimed at inspiring the slum’s young women to become advocates of change within their own communities and for Kenya as a whole.

The Story: The Immanuel Rural Development Mission is based in the middle of the Maasai, and has been for more than 20 years. Many Maasai have worked with the founders of the organization since the early 1990s, and as a result, the relationship that our mission has with the students and parents in our schools is less of that of a foreign charitable organization but more of a familial one. Currently, apart from textbooks, there are virtually no other books in the classrooms. By introducing e-readers, we hope to provide students with a wider selection of books that includes both educational tools and pleasure reading. In doing so, we want to stress the importance of reading and encourage and enable independent reading. We will know this technology has made a difference when students show a desire and an increased aptitude for reading.

Engaged at age 5, she was to undergo female genital mutilation by the time she was a teenager, an event that would mark the end of her education and the beginning of her preparations for marriage. But Dr. Ntaiya had a different plan. First, she negotiated with her father, agreeing to be circumcised only if she could also finish high school. He agreed. Then she negotiated with the village elders to do what no girl had ever done: leave her Maasai village of Enoosaen in southwest Kenya to go to college in the United States. She promised that she would use her education to benefit Enoosaen. Kakenya is now fulfilling her promise to her community. As the founder of Kakenya Center for Excellence, the first girls’ primary boarding school in Enoosaen, Kakenya believes that education will empower and motivate young girls to become agents of change in their community and country. The school opened its doors in May 2009 and currently has 155 students in grades four through eight. It has become a beacon of hope to the girls and parents in Enoosaen, focusing on academic excellence, health education, female empowerment, leadership and community development.
