Ugly Fish: Giving Tuesday!

By Lisa Peracchio | Director

Dear Valued Partner:

Thank you for making a difference to school children in rural Kenya by supporting the East African Children's Fund fish farming program. Your donations make it possible to maintain 12 fishponds in Meru, Kenya. With your support, 922 school children enjoy a fish meal twice weekly. Fish is an important alternative protein which is a cost-effective solution to receiving necessary micro-nutrients. In other words, you are making it possible for children to remain engaged and healthy in the classroom. This translates to improved school performance. Students at our partner schools at Nchiru Children's Village, in aggregate, place in the top quartile on Kenyan national exam test scores.

This Giving Tuesday, your investment in the school fish program goes even further because GlobalGiving is offering Incentive Funds per donation. Please consider a gift today on Giving Tuesday! Moving forward this fiscal year, we remain committed to building 2 additional ponds at the Murera Farm and expanding the fish food production enterprise to generate revenue.

We remain sincerely grateful for your support!

East African Children's Fund

P.S.: 100% DIRECT GIVING: 100% OF YOUR DONATION GOES TO NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL MEALS IN KENYA!
