Will YOU?
Kenyan Secondary Schools are Boarding Schools.
This is a good thing! The children in Kibera live together with many siblings in one room shacks without amenities, adequate food, a space to do homework or light to study by at night. However, when they go away to boarding school, they have their own bed to sleep in, a desk, light to study by and nutritious food three times a day! They really have a chance to become a student.
Your $40 a month that keeps a child in secondary school, sets that child’s feet on the journey to freedom out of poverty!
CREDIT CARD: When you Click DONATE, you can check the “monthly” option, and “education,” if you choose.
CHEQUE: Make out a cheque to CAP/AIDS. Designate “Village of Love” on the memo line (+ “education,” if you choose). Send together with a void cheque to CAP/AIDS, 812A Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON, M6G 1L9.
By sending a child to school with your $40 a month, you will become one of our BIG FIVE in our 2013 Donor Challenge!
