During the process of strategic planning, Cheryl’s children home realized the urgent need for long term plan on how to provide education for those rehabilitated children. Over the past years, the home has worked with this category of children raising them to secondary school level. The cost of paying for their education at the secondary school level has been high and is still rising.

Because of the ever rising cost of school fees, there has been a need for an alternative way of providing secondary school education to these needy children. Through a standing development committee, Cheryl’s has resolved to establish a secondary school that will be affiliated to the orphanage, whose main goal will be to accommodate the orphans, provide them with Christian secondary education at reasonable cost.

Cheryl’s through the development committee have therefore identified a 22 acre plot within the greater Nairobi, where this planned school will be located. The discussion with the owner of the property has been initiated and a tentative price for the property established. For each acre of land, the owner is asking KES 1.2 million shillings. This means then that we need to raise a total of 26.4 million shillings. We believe we can achieve this with your help.

A large percentage of these children, whose parents have died from AIDS, are themselves, thankfully, healthy. But these are little innocent children, who, through no fault of their own, have found themselves in a seemingly hopeless and impossible situation. Many resort to crime, drugs and even prostitution.

These AIDS orphans of Kibera have lost their parents, their role-models, and simply crave love and affection, and just a little hope and direction for the future.
