Sponsor a Student Program
The cost of putting a child through Secondary School is often an impossible burden for parents. Karatu Education Fund assists in raising funds to sponsor these children through Secondary School and, if possible, continues the sponsorship through Trade School or University.
To sponsor a student please Contact Us directly.
Philipo Family
Thanks to our kind sponsors, the Philipo family was able to receive end of year gifts for the entire family. Gifts included blankets, Mattress, clothes, shoes and school supplies
Anatoly Philip is the head of the family now with his young brother and sisters. They lost their mother two years ago and are now living alone after their father got married to another women and left them with no support. The younger children currently live on their own while attempting to successfully finish their schooling.
Anatoly completed his O-level study and is in his second year of Agricultural college that focuses on livestock and farming. If he cannot pay the yearly fees, he will not be able to continue. A continuing sponsorship is required.
KEF is looking for sponsors for Anatoly’s college fees, as well as assistance for his brothers and sisters to improve their living situation. Below is a letter from Anatoly. KEF has paid for the first year of his Agricultural college fees to avoid his removal from the acceptance list. Thank you to our sponsors for assisting with this family’s continuing needs.
Daniel is the youngest and will take the National Exam this year. He continues to perform at the Top of his Class!
