New School Year Begins in January!
By Tad Kincaid | Executive Director

Our new classrooms are complete and we are ready to welcome 20 new learners this coming January. Thanks to your generous support, Kidspire is continuing to meet our mission focused goal of getting children from remote parts of Kenya into school. We now have 6 classrooms, 12 teachers, and 120 learners (ranging from the Pre-Kindergarten equivalent up through Grade 2).
The photos attached below each tell an important story:
- At the end of November, before closing school for winter break, we celebrated the 20 students who graduated PP2, advancing to Grade 1. This special day of celebration was shared with their families. For many of these students, they are the first in their family to attend school and advance to Grade 1.
- Teacher planning sessions are always important - and especially so when preparing for a new school year. In antcipation of the new school year, our teachers spent 3 weeks together in training, planning, and preparation.
- With all of our 120 learners in Grade 2 and below, a primary academic goal is reading (or preparing to read). This special photo of Teacher Ramisi practicing reading with one of our PP1 (Pre-Kindergarten equivalent) learners captures the meaningful progress that our students are making as they learn to read.
On behalf of all of us at Kidspire, we extend warm wishes to you and your loved ones during this holiday season.
Sincerely,
Tad

Building new classrooms for more learners
By Tad Kincaid | Executive Director

Getting kids into school in remote communities in Kenya, where children do not typically attend school, is not easy. However, month by month, year by year, Kidspire has seen success as we established five new classrooms, each with 20 learners. Attendance remains consistent, and the community is now lining up to enroll their children in school. We are particularly pleased with this result, especially knowing that this community has never had a school and that three generations of family members have never attended school. For all members of the community, their 5 to 7-year-old children are the first members of their families to attend school.
As we look ahead to the new school year in January 2026, it is time to build two new classrooms. Construction is underway!
Thank you for helping make it possible for us to provide access to education for children in Kanampio Village, a remote location in Laikipia County, Kenya.
Sincerely,
Tad

Community Impact Through Education
By Tad Kincaid | Executive Director

This new school that you helped to make possible - Thank You! - in Kanampio Village, Kenya, is making a community-wide impact. Every week, the parent meeting is well attended, with eager parents asking lots of questions about how their children are doing in school. Take a peek at the photo of our Lead Teacher reviewing classroom notes with one of the parents.
This community has been waiting for a school for 3 generations. Their children have lacked access to a local school, and now that we are open, they are eager to take full advantage of the opportunity. They know how important education is for their children and they are fully embracing this developing school community.
Thank you for your generous contributions that are helping to make access to educaiton possible.
Sincerely,
Tad
