2010 FEATURED SCHOOL : We believe Sponsors would like to see the types of schools that the SHARE orphans attend. This year we are featuring Our Lady of Orore, one of the most prestigious schools in Western Kenya, where in 2009 we had 37 SHARE orphans.
Our Lady of Orore is a wonderful boarding school which provides education for grades 1-12. It is located in the small town of Orore which is situated near Lake Victoria, Kenya. The school itself is very self contained and secluded. It was founded by the Marist Brothers of Germany. Today, the Brothers are all Kenyans and the Principle is Brother Josea; he is assisted by Brothers Rogers, Frederich, and Andreas.
In 2008 and 2009 we learned that the post election violence, continuing drought conditions and the abysmal poverty have left little options for jobs for our high school graduates. Accordingly, we are very concerned that we will have a growing population of SHARE sponsored orphans who are not on a college path and have no means of support.
We explored possibilities of capitalizing on our solar oven experience and partnering with the Marist brothers of the Our Lady of Orore Boarding school. Why this school?
