Help with Food
Dear Friends, We extend our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. In January 2024, we continued our mission to provide quality primary education and support the well-being of the destitute in our communities here in Mombasa Kenya. A report from Star of Hope Kenya.
In the realm of education, the month witnessed a seamless continuation of studies for 1200 children across Mikindani Nursery School, Living Word Primary School, and Jimba Primary School.
Simultaneously, 12 youths embarked on a journey of skill development, gaining expertise in tailoring, dress-making, and embroidery, setting the stage for lifelong capabilities
Our School Feeding Program remained a cornerstone of our efforts, ensuring daily nourishment for 1200 children and 12 youths. This sustained the vital 10 o'clock porridge and 12-noon lunch, contributing significantly to the well-being and focus of the beneficiaries.
Self-sustainability projects showcased continued success. The vegetable farm in Mikindani flourished, yielding produce for both the feeding program and local sale, thereby supporting income generation.
Additionally, the sales of borehole water at Mikindani Farm to local communities continued, providing a sustainable source of income for our school programs.
CELEBRATING ACADEMIC SUCCESS
We proudly celebrated the academic achievements of two outstanding individuals. Goodly Munene, the top student at Living Word Primary School in the KCPE Examinations 2023, scored an impressive 384 out of 500 marks and secured a place at a prestigious national-level high school in the central part of Kenya
Similarly, Franklin Mumo, the top student at Star of Hope Jimba Primary School, scored 379 out of 500 marks and earned admission to a prestigious national-level high school in the Coastal part of Kenya.
ACADEMIC MILESTONES
The reopening of our schools for the 2024 academic year was met with enthusiasm and dedication. Simultaneously, we celebrated a significant achievement - a 100% transition of all 93 Grade 8 candidates and 120 Grade 6 students to High School and Junior High School. This accomplishment ensures the continual educational progress of every student.
FRIENDSHIPS AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT
In the heart of Living Word Primary School, 216 students from destitute backgrounds are experiencing a vibrant community. They receive quality primary education, enjoy daily meals, and engage in games during school time, fostering a holistic and joyful learning environment.
Furthermore, the heartwarming friendship between Jasmine Atieno and Rachael Muna Odhiambo, both aspiring doctors, is a testament to the positive atmosphere within the school.
VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE AND GRATITUDE
Sandra, a volunteer for the last four months, expressed deep appreciation for her experience at Star of Hope Kenya. Her words highlighted the warmth of teachers and the transformative moments that have left a lasting impact.
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS
Amidst the enchantment of Christmas, our children experienced two heartwarming parties in Mikindani and Jimba Village during the December holidays.
The festivities included talent showcases, a Christmas film, and scrumptious feasts featuring Pilau (fried spicy rice), Chapati, beef, and soda
These celebrations were made possible by the generous funding of our well-wishers, bringing the magic of Christmas
In conclusion, we express our sincere thanks for your continued support.
Your commitment is shaping a brighter future for our local communities.
