SCHOOL REPORT
October 2021
Introduction
The 2018-2022WkW SP plan had projected the high school department to have 129 students in 2021. This projection seemed unrealistic a few months ago especially when the Coronavirus pandemic struck the country. Things looked bleak and hope seemed to be at a distance.
The High school department, however, would like to report that the current high school population has grown in numbers and has reached 143 as of now, a remarkable growth that exceeds the projected intentions.
This would not be any possible were it not for the generosity of WFWIA through the passion and love of Marguerite, the distinct and supportive leadership offered by Sr. Leonida, management and the WkW team. Now, the children from Kibera can get quality and dignified education.
Candidates 2022.
The WKW Kenya Organization currently has 26 KCSE candidates in its Education Sponsorship program. These candidates will sit for their national examination (KCSE) in March 2022. We wish these candidates all the best in these exams.
Form one recruitment process 2021.
In order to get more children sponsored, the Australian office offered 40 Education sponsorship vacancies for children joining form one. To qualify for this opportunity, children from Kibera who had done their KCPE examinations back in April 2021 applied and were taken through interviews.
29 students were successful and have been absorbed into the system. This process is ongoing and 23 out of the 29 have found individual sponsors from Australia. We are grateful and sincerely thank WFWIA and many families who have so far come forward to give these needy children from Kibera a golden opportunity to acquire education. We seek, hope and pray that more families, individuals and organizations will come forward to offer sponsorship opportunities to other needy children who have not been sponsored.
