In 2024, with your help, we were able to successfully support 66 students from Homa Bay Village to commence their High School studies before the phasing out of the old curriculum... AND THEY ALL PASSED WITH FLYING COLOURS!
So, in 2025, we're looking to do the same - appealing to your generosity to ensure these 66 students can continue onto Form 2... and be one year closer to completing their secondary school studies!
As with last year, costs to support a student for the year are: - $280 covers full education costs - $145 covers tuition only - $75 provides half-bursary (which the community may be able to supplement)
Given various issues that have arisen for students during the year (ranging from sexual abuse, to theft of materials and equipment) we will be keeping any additional funds aside to cover unanticipated costs associated with keeping them in school.
Last year's campaign: (https://www.mycause.com.au/p/327947/scholarship-fund-homa-bay-kenya)
Images from the 2024 Speech Day (which Laboso Foundation organised to recognise and reward all 66 students for their efforts and success) are a heartwarming reminder of the massive change this small investment is making in the lives of these children.
In 2025, we are also running a parallel campaign to support the growth of the new pre-Primary and Primary school in Homa Bay Village, which the Laboso Caring Foundation has also been instrumental in founding and developing over the past 12 months.
If you wish to support that campaign aswell / instead - your contributions to either will be greatly appreciated by the Homa Bay community.
Great initiative Kate. I hope that these kids get the scholarships they deserve.
