Educate an Orphan in Rural Western Kenya

The April school holidays are currently ongoing, and we are looking forward to welcoming our children back to school soon. At Tumaini Centre, we have had a wonderful time engaging with all the children we support. They participated in a variety of activities, including artwork, painting, and beadwork. These activities are part of our efforts to align with the new education system, which emphasizes the development of talents and practical skills. I would like to remind you that without your continued support this would not have happened, thank you for your support.

This year, we were only able to admit a small number of orphans due to the high number of pupils already enrolled who also lack sufficient support. It has not been easy to turn away some children in need, but we remain committed to doing our best for the children currently in our care and supporting their families effectively.

We have welcomed 15 new pupils from single-parent families, most of whom have lost their fathers. As you know, supporting one child has a ripple effect, it helps not only that child but also their siblings and empowers the parent to better care for the entire family.

We are pleased to assure you that all the children under our support are attending school and have access to the necessary supplies. We remain deeply grateful for your continued generosity and commitment to ensuring these children receive an education. We also appreciate your efforts in sharing our mission with friends and family, and we look forward to growing our community of supporters.

Once again, thank you very much for your generosity and unwavering support.

Happy and prosperous New Year!

On behalf of the Tumaini family, we would like to sincerely thank you for your continued support toward our cause. We have walked this journey together throughout the year, and as we come to its end, the achievements we celebrate are truly remarkable. We are also grateful that this year we were able to celebrate 20 years of Service to the the vulnerable communities.

At the beginning of the year, we supported 300 pupils in primary school and 65 students in high school. We are grateful to report that none of these students dropped out or missed school due to lack of school requirements. All primary school pupils remained in school and received daily meals, while all high school students stayed in school with their fees fully paid.

This year, 30 students graduated from primary Grade Six and will be joining junior secondary school next year. Another 30 students graduated from junior secondary and will be joining high school, and 29 students graduated from high school and are now awaiting their results as they prepare to join universities and colleges in September 2026.

These milestones were made possible because of the generosity of people like you who have faithfully and sacrificially invested in the education of orphans and vulnerable children. We recognize that you have many other responsibilities, yet you chose to give and make a lasting difference in their lives.

Education remains one of the most powerful tools for breaking the cycle of poverty. Through your support, you have not only provided education but also given hope and a future. This impact extends beyond individuals to families and the wider community, creating lasting change.

As we approach the new year, we kindly encourage you to share the good work we are doing with your family and friends, so that together we can grow our sponsorship family and reach even more children in need.

Once again, thank you for walking with us. We wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

With heartfelt gratitude,
The Tumaini Family
