I dont have much to say but i really need this scholarship so that i can achieve my goals of being a doctor.Help me achieve my goals
My name is Janet Kerubo. I am a Kenyan single disadvantaged young girl aged 24. I attained Bachelor of Education (Arts) degree from a recognized University in Kenya (Moi University) in 2009 and emerged with a Second Honour, Upper Division… It is by God’s grace that I manage to acquire my undergraduate degree as I come from a family and community that believes that a woman’s place in the kitchen.
I have a passion to advance my education as I believe that education is the foundation for higher living standards and an important tool in the long-term eradication of poverty, anywhere in the world, more so in Africa.
I would like to do a Masters Degree in Business Administration (MBA) or any related field but I do not have the financial resources.
I would therefore wish to appeal for your scholarship to enable me realize my dreams. I anticipate your response. Thanks in advance. With kind regards,
Janet Kerubo.
Over two years ago we started a pre-school – Nyamue Christian Junior Academy (NCJA) which currently serves 120 disadvantaged children who come from very poor families, some come from families who got displaced during 2007 electoral violence in Kenya and some are orphans.
The nearest public day care is situated three kilometers away and the kids had to negotiate a hilly path before they are got to school and this would take them about an hour and half every day! It is so imaginable that by the time they got to school, they were so tired. We also intended to have a Christian doctrine guided pre-school where our juniors would be instructed the virtues of God in a biblical way from their young ages.
We believe that the way we educate children, who are beginning school, in their formative years, will have a profound impact on long term economic future of our nation. We are giving the children high-quality pre-school education so they can be less dependent on welfare and criminal justice systems later in life.
The role of education in eradicating poverty cannot be overstated. An education is perhaps a child’s strongest barrier to poverty. It lowers birth rates, increases economic productivity and equips children with the skills necessary to participate in the workplace. The power of an education continues to provide benefits to subsequent generations as educated adults tend to marry later in life, have healthier children, be more productive at work, receive better pay in the workplace and generally enjoy greater health… Education is the foundation for higher living standards and an important tool in the long-term eradication of poverty, anywhere in the world, more so in Africa.
Needs at the NCJA are so overwhelming! We need funding to be able to continue providing the kids one high protein meal a day (Our school feeding program has increase enrolment and attendance in school, particularly amongst girls. The food we offer act as a strong incentive for children to attend school on a regular basis. Girls especially benefit from this, as parents may feel there are sufficient income-transfer benefits (meaning the meal/food provided acts as a form of income savings/benefit as they do not have to spend as much on food). Often, girls are not encouraged to attend school due to cultural practices, beliefs about education and they are needed to provide valuable labour and contribute to the household), provide text books & other learning materials, school uniforms, etc. It costs an estimated $25 per child per month for all these things. Of course we need to construct more building facilities for classrooms.
Please let me know if your Organization may be in a position to help with funding. I would be glad to provide more information with pictures if required to do so.
Anticipating your response.
With kind regards,
DAVID MARUBE (Manager NCJA)
