Review for The Kilgoris Project, Los Altos, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

Educating, feeding and caring for over 1,000 preschoolers and elementary school children in a remote area in southwestern Kenya takes tremendous dedication and hard work. To do all of that that successfully in partnership with the community for over 13 years is amazing! The Kilgoris Project (TKP) makes a daily positive impact on the lives of so many young children. I am both a 10-year volunteer and donor to TKP and have had the privilege of visiting our schools and working with the Kenyan staff and children. Over the years, TKP has learned that education is necessary but not sufficient. Hungry and sick children can't learn, so TKP donors have made it possible to serve more children and to provide holistic education including providing meals, clean water and basic health care. Our students are learning and thriving. Parents are engaged in the school community. I feel proud and honored to be part of TKP. The most heartbreaking thing is that there are still so many children in the area who need an education. I will always support TKP and work for the children because I have seen up-close the progress and success.
