There is Hope - part two of joining High School

“I am so happy to be in school. It is a good place where the learning enviroment is friendly and the teachers are very supportive.”  These are Edwin Mburu’s remarks not long after joining Angaza high school. TKW team met him in one of the city council rehabilitation centers in 2007. He was arrested after coming to the urban area from his rural area in Naivasha in search of his mother Salome who was working in Nairobi. Edwin had been left under the care of his great grandmother and his uncle whom they had quarreled thus the reason for him coming to Nairobi.
In that period of Edwin’s visit to Nairobi he was arrested and this is when TKW team met him and later got to meet his mother. Edwin was rescued and reunited with his family went to school  and later sat for his final primary education examination (KCPE )in 2009 and got 253 out of 500 marks. Edwin’s desire was to join high school but it seemed impossible with the financial difficulty they had as a family but Salome’s his mother was determined that her son will proceed to high school. She looked for a local day school and continued hoping that God would provide for the expenses.  But before the school reporting date came a better school was found and she agreed that Edwin joins it. Salome committed to contribute Kshs.5000 per term towards her son’s school fees despite the fact that she is working as a house-help earning Kshs. 3000 per month and still providing for her daughter’s education.
Salome’s zeal for her son to be educated has been seen and particularly in this instance when she met TKW team members, “Here is my salary I have just been paid and I want to deposit this Kshs.2000 for Edwin’s fees. This is all I have managed to raise for my son’s school fees for this month.”She had fumbled with her pocket and produced Ksh.2000. She did this with her tears sagging from her eyes, “but I am happy because I am doing this to empower him.” TKW team members were touched by this that Salome was not overly dependent on them but she is empowered to give towards her  son’s  education. On the other hand Edwin promised to work harder and hopes to be of great help to his family. He is currently in form one and TKW is walking alongside him and his family. Below is Angaza school fees structure and we are welcoming you to be a blessing to this hard-working mother, Edwin and the whole family.

“I want to be a neuro-surgeon,” those are Clement’s words as he was expressing himself to one of the TKW team members. He had just sat for his final primary school exam and his results were out and had managed to get 327 out of 500marks in his exams. He is a bright and intelligent child whose potential needs to be channeled in the right direction to get encouraging outcomes. His family was looking forward for him to join school but they had challenges in raising the expected amount of money. His mother, Mary is a house-wife and his step-dad is a casual laborer whose work does not pay well but this did not stop them from contributing what they had. Mary, Clement’s mother looked for items in the house that she had bought some time back and told Clement to use them is school. TKW worked closely with this family and Clement especially in doing his shopping until he was admitted in school in February 2010.
Clement became part of TKW program in 2005 this is after finding him in one of the city council rehabilitation centre in Nairobi, this is because he was a truant and had left home coming to the streets. TKW team related with him and facilitated the reconciliation process since then they have been walking alongside this family.  Clement’s former primary school  offered to contribute  towards his education by paying his school fees and as mentioned earlier TKW did take part in shopping  for his school items.TKW team is encouraged for the effort this family is making to see Clement become an asset to the society. We appeal to you to be part of this process of empowering Clement, through your prayers and financial contribution which will go towards purchasing basic necessities and also for visits done by TKW team for moral support. His basic needs (personal effects kshs.1500 annually and replacement of worn out items like shoes, uniform and school projects kshs 3000). The local follow-up visits kshs.500 and the long-distant follow-up kshs.1500

Miriam is an orphan in a family of two other siblings John and Jane, and she is also in high school in Form Two. Pastor Juma and his wife took them in as foster parents and in this period they experienced a huge burden in providing and educated them, having in mind his family. At one point Miriam had stopped going to school partly because of the huge outstanding balance and was also unwell.  Miriam has rejoined school and TKW was able to pay her 1st term school fees but needs more support for her to continue with her studies. Her foster guardians have been offering spiritual and moral support to her and the other children.  Miriam needs your support that is school fees as well as your prayers count.
