send your sponsored child a letter:
FTKI has started requiring applications from the 8th grade students to proceed to high school. They attend various levels of school based on their score on the national exam. We send all orphans who score over 275 on the exam to boarding schools. Lower-scoring orphans go to local high schools. We also send two community students to boarding schools and help provide funds for the remaining students interested in attending a local high school. Boarding schools average $1000 per year (transportation, housing, food, and clothing costs for the three months they are at Kisima during their school breaks add $200) and local high school is about $150 per year. The local community does not value secondary education so some of the Class 8 students will not continue. Here are two students' application letters. Mary is an orphan and scored very highly on the national exam. Mike is a community student.

Why Donate?
BECAUSE:
- $20 - School Supplies for One Child
- Kisima Academy is a registered Kenyan school and the children take yearly government exams. Unlike the six mission schools in the district, Kisima is the only school to care for orphans. Its 360 children are eager learners who would truly appreciate a gift of school supplies.

- $20 - Feed a Child for One Month
- Kisima Academy has made great progress toward self-sufficiency with its gardens, crops, chickens, and cows. However, there is still a need to supplement the children’s diet with fresh fruit and other foodstuffs that are purchased in nearby villages. Your gift to feed a child for one month will help ensure balanced nutrition.
