Six year old Yona often goes a full day without a meal and his family are regularly locked out of their home by the landlord due to them struggling to make rental payments.
Yona is in Primary 1 of public school but only spends around half of the time in school due to being sent home because of a lack of fees. School he is often sent home because his fees haven’t been paid. His mum works hard on local farms but the £2 she makes on days work is available is not sufficient to sustain their basic needs.
By sponsoring Yona’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.
Please email info@gathimbaedwardsfoundation.org if you are interested in supporting Yona.
We have seen first-hand the importance of education and the impact it has on lives, which resulted in us sponsoring Eunice. We wanted to take away the financial burden of school fees for the family, allowing them to focus on rent/food. We look forward to her updates and reading about her progression through secondary school. She has flourished and is now making good progress in further education. It is rewarding to know that we are supporting her and her family’s future. We will continue to support her until she completes her studies.
