Sponsor Jasmine through school in the quarry region of Karundas, Kenya

Jasmine is an adorable five-year-old who has just started school with us and loves doing art. Her favourite colour is pink, and when she grows up she wants to become a police officer. Your sponsorship will enable her to continue at our school and help support her incredibly poor family. For privacy reasons we have blurred this photo of Jasmine, but we will send you a proper one of her should you decide to sponsor her.

Why Jasmine needs you to sponsor her

Jasmine is from one of Kenya’s poorest rural regions called Karundas. Every day is a struggle to find food, with many vulnerable children having  no choice but to work all day to be fed, typically in the vast quarries here. No school. No education. No childhood.

Just about all of the children in our school programme have lost at least one parent with 1 in 4 being HIV positive. All live in abject poverty, typically in a shack like this. The more vulnerable they are, the more chance they have of getting into our school.

How your sponsorship will transform Jasmine’s life

Your sponsorship will fund Jasmine’s entire education costs at our Hall Mead School, including free food, trauma counselling and family support. All in a loving Christian environment with daily devotions, Bible studies and prayer. 

Thanks to you, no working in the quarries or early child marriage for Jasmine!

You will receive twice yearly updates about Jasmine and you can send her messages, especially on her birthday and at Christmas (research has shown that children with sponsors tend to do better due to an increased sense of self-worth and general wellbeing). 

It’s so rewarding and a great way of supporting one of the world’s most vulnerable children, their family and their community. 

Thank you for sponsoring one of the world's most vulnerable children!
