Project Report | Feb 26, 2021
Back to school report

By James Oyugi Were | Founder/Director

Hello friends,

Ii hope and trust that you are doing okay, the year 2020 was with alot of challenges as Covid-19 came calling shutting down our education system.

We have really struggled with our children staying at home with parents for 9 months that is March-September 2020. James were foundation came up with a detailed program of mentoring our students during this pandemic until September last year when grades 4,8 and 12 were allowed back to school. JWF managed to take and sponsor tero students who are in grade 12. They are really doing well and posting good results. We hope to see them registering straight distinctions and joining public universities come July this year.

This year was a better one compared with last year. The year of hope as all students reported back to school. JWF took back another 8 students to other grades in high school , grades 9 to 11. We offered full scholarship to all our 10 students and we hope that bu July 2021 when we are starting our new year, we shall have more partners and friends to help us sponsor more students. Our goal is forgetting 65 to 100 students for full and merited scholarships for the needy and bright students.

We still put our strong prayers that all will be well. We still monitor our students and make sure that a follow up is done and FPEs are supplied to them in school. God will continue to provide for them. This new year has also come with new challenges as people in the slums cant raise school fee, provide FPEs and provide food for their families aa Covid 19 has made most people lose their incomes in different ways, life has become unbearable. There is light at the end of the tunnel with James Were Foundation. God bless you.
