The SHARE Orphan Sponsorship program not only saves lives of children, it literally transforms the lives of these children. SHARE places heavy emphasis on education as a means to a better, brighter, and productive future for these orphans.
In the last four years, 87 of our sponsored orphans graduated from high school. After graduating from secondary school, these children also graduate from the SHARE Orphan Sponsorship program (SOS). Many of them continue on with their education at colleges and universities.
Future High School graduates
In 2011, 32 of our orphans completed 8th grade and are ready to move on to high school studies. In November, the end of the academic year in Kenya, 8th graders take the National Examination. Based on the child’s exam score, the Kenyan Ministry of Educations assigns the children to specific high schools, which are ranked according to the quality of students they accept.
In 2012, we expect to have 84 students in secondary schools, in freshmen through senior grades (in Kenya these are Form 1 – 4 grade levels).
87 SHARE orphans graduated from high school in last few years, 2008 – 2011.
If you would like to help a needy orphan in Kenya receive good education (the cost is just $1.67/day), please consider sponsoring a child through the SHARE Orphan Sponsorship program
