bread of life child sponsorship program
Because Turkana, Kenya, is such a remote area of the country, few schools have been opened any distance from the tribal capital. In 2011, we opened our first Bread of Life ECD (Early Childhood Development) program, the first opportunity for education in the village of Morungor. This program consists of 2 levels of preschool that are required for a child to enter Class 1 (first grade). To date, we have opened 3 ECD programs and partnered with the tribal government to open a primary school in our community. We also have students entering college already! Thanks to generous child sponsors, we currently have 280 kids in school with more children still awaiting sponsorship. Each child in our sponsorship program receives:
- a quality education
- 2 meals each day
- basic health care
- their initial uniform
- discipleship from Bread of Life staff
We are hoping to soon open the doors of a new preschool in the western part of Turkana in a village named Natelo. Most of these children are from that village and will be the first in their families to attend school. Can you be part of their story?
