Help Yvonne and the Upendo's children to grow up and become what they dream to become ! 
Sponsor a child ! 

Cecilia, Lydia ,Susan, Brenda, urgently need our support so they may reach Secondary School Level.
The cost incurred by a secondary school education is approximately 700 euros a year.
It covers room and board as well as all fees, school supplies, clothes, personal hygiene supplies, medical expenses and everything else the student needs for the entire year.


Make a Difference and Sponsor a Girl Today
Sponsoring one of the girls at Upendo School and Children’s Home could be one of the most important decision you ever make ! 
Only 48% of girls in Kenya attend secondary school. Among orphans, the statistic drops even further.

Education Changes Lives
A secondary school education changes lives.  Your sponsorship does not just change the lives of the student, but also the Murang’a community, improving the quality of life for everyone – now and into the future. 
Your sponsorship can help end the cycle of poverty for the orphans at Upendo and help the girls transition into a future full of success, fulfilment and independence.
The girls of Upendo understand the importance of an education and have consistently had top ranked exam scores in their district. They hope to become doctors, lawyers and accountants. With your help they can succeed.


Structure of the Kenyan education system
Kenya’s education system is divided into three stages: primary, secondary and higher education. Primary education starts at the age of six, lasts for eight years and is organised in three stages: lower primary (ages 6-8 or grade 1-3), middle (9-10 or grades 4-5) and upper primary (ages 11-13 or grades 6-8). Secondary education lasts four years (ages 14-17 or form 1-4).

BRENDA WANJIKU
Brenda born in 2000 was brought to Upendo in 2003. After both of her parents died, she and her two brothers were left orphaned. Her grandparents were unable to handle the financial burden of all three children and brought Brenda to Upendo to get the care and education they were unable to provide.
