Helping our children
This section presents the profiles of six of our children, as well as their wishes for living a better life.
|
|
Name: Any number of our football enthusiasts
Year of Birth: ages 6-11
We held our first Kimilili Football Tournament in July 2010. It was a roaring success with 16 schools from near and far attending the event. The players were thrilled to be playing with a real ball for the first time in their lives. It is impossible to explain how every one of our boys dream of nothing more than to receive their own ball.
Estimate costs: 28 USD

Name: Joshua Pwoka’s youth gardening group
Year of Birth: ages 8-12Last year a group of youths, lead by Joshua Pwoka (12 yrs) formed a garden co-op. They managed to learn about seedlings and growing cabbage and suku mawiki. We now want to offer them a plot of leased land to learn about composting, mulch irrigation systems, and polyculture. To do this they need seeds and a treadle water pump.
Estimate costs: 110 USD

Sponsoring our Teachers and School
If you wish, you can also donate the following to the school as a whole.
Our dedicated teachers and volunteers know the importance of teaching math and languages (Kiswahili and English) to the children. We are always looking for pedagogically sound and imaginative ways to do this (see video).
Therefore, we would like to build a Learning Landscape. This is a grid-based playground for elementary math education. The playground combines active movement and competition with mathematical exercises, providing an outdoor classroom framework for fun and engaged learning.
Estimate costs: 260 USD
(for building- and instructional materials)

Where would be without our dedicated teachers? Their thoughts are always for the children first, but barring this, they would like learning materials so that they can become better teachers.
Since we had to be evacuated out of Nairobi last year and we lost all of our teaching tools in a fire, we need five complete sets of teaching manuals (one set per teacher).
Estimate costs: 120 USD/ set |
| The CBSM school children are dearly in need of schoolbooks.
Estimate costs: 700 USD/ complete syllabus for all children of all grades |
|
|
|
To enrich the minds and horizons of our children further, we would like to provide create a lending library of books we purchase at the second hand bookstore.
The books we include religious literature, Kenyan classics, and non-fictional vocational literature.
Estimate costs: 400 USD |
| It is important for us to feed the children’s bodies, as much as their minds. A great gift to them would be sports equipment (e.g. balls, goal nets, skipping ropes, paddle ball rackets) and building a sports playground.
Estimate costs: 400 USD |

We took out a loan (1000 USD) to relocate and rebuild temporary school facilities. It would be a great lift off our shoulders, if you could contribute to helping us pay back this loan.
The loan is only for building materials. The Kimilili community leaders and members are generously offering their labour to CBSM.
Estimate costs: 55 USD/ month |
