Latest Update from the Field
Girls Next Step!
By Executive Director - Gichuki Francis, November 20, 2009 12:08 PM
12 girls have through your donations done their Kenya Certificate of Primary Education 2009. During a meeting yesterday at the TYSA Girls Resource Centre, they were optimistic that they will do well and join Secondary school 2010. ‘Iam eager to join secondary school next year’ Elizabeth who sat for her exams at Mukuyu Primary school.
The girls were very grateful to your donations through Globalgiving which has assisted them so much in buying books, uniforms, and paying for their examination fees. ‘If it were not for the support I have received, I would not have even done this examinations, as my mum has no income to support me’ Felecita, who did her exams from Sinyereri primary school.
TYSA expects through your continued support to offer these girls secondary education. We are looking forward to your donations especially during this period when Globalgiving is matching your donations.
With Warm Regards from Elizabeths, Felicita, Joyce, Florence on behalf of other girls
