Basil aspires to be like his own teachers in the future as he hopes to one day be a teacher too. He loves learning in primary school but being regularly being sent home due to unpaid school fees and lacking basic learning materials is putting his dream at risk. Basil's parents struggle to find permanent or consistent work to support their family. As a result, there are often occasions when the whole family go to sleep hungry and have no breakfast the next day.
By sponsoring Basil’s education for £35 per month, you will be giving him the chance to attend and complete primary, secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards his public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals and stationery. You will receive an end of year school performance and general update along with a photo from us.
Depending on time of year and location, you may also have the chance to meet him should you come on one of our trips to Kenya; the next one is our Volunteering House Building project in July 2026.
