16 year old Teresa has had an incredibly tough life, and due to several reasons, she is now only in Primary 5 and the oldest in class with a 3 year age gap to her classmates.
Teresa lives at Pavilion Village Children’s Home after being rescued due to extreme poverty and neglect. She and her younger brother were out of school for a long time. Sadly, their mother was bitten by a snake, leaving her in constant pain and unable to work. With no stable support, the family often went without food, and the children regularly missed school due to unpaid fees.
Teresa is now safe and eats regular meals, but her education is at risk.
By sponsoring Teresa's education for £40 per month, you will be giving her the chance to complete primary, secondary and tertiary education. 100% of your support will go towards her public-school fees, uniform, shoes, books, school meals, stationery and menstrual care products.
You’ll receive an annual school performance and life update, along with a photo of Teresa as well as having the opportunity to exchange an annual letter, and have the chance to meet her should you come on one of our Kenya House Building (next one 2029) trips to Kenya.
