Thanks to the generosity of SRW donors, Sister Mirriam Goretti from the Cor Mariae school in Kenya recently purchased a bus to safely transport her students to and from school. In the past, many female students were forced to drop out due to the risk of sexual assault and trafficking during the daily walk home through the remote plantations where predators lurked.
Since the arrival of the bus, many former students have returned to school and are thriving in their studies. With National Exams just around the corner, Sister Goretti is working hard to ensure her students have everything they need to succeed, and she needs your help.
Right now, she is seeking support to purchase essential supplies required for her students to complete the science portion of the National Exam. Without these resources, their hard work and progress could be halted.
Please consider helping us help her. These children have overcome incredible challenges, and they are just one exam away from taking the next step in their education!
