Be a Student Hero

School sponsorships is one of the many ways Tabibu Africa, Inc works to provide aid in the areas we work in. We believe that education is the key for true positive change for the future.

Our main school, Little Giants, in Ruiru Kenya currently has several students that cannot afford tuition. We have yet to witness the Director, George, turn any students away regardless of gender, financial status, or health. Doing this creates a deficit of funding; paying teacher wages, licensing, supplies, and more. Tabibu Africa, Little Giants, and our Director can only continue this valuable work of education through sponsors like you!

You could be the hero for Lewis, a 7-year old very bright young man who always smiles. His mum, Margaret, is a single mother who works as a construction laborer. She has also helped to start up the first PTA in all of Ruiru through the Little Giants School. It is always a joy to follow up with Lewis and interview him in person. He is always so helpful and smiling. He loves to play football (soccer) and he's an amazing artist.

There's also sweet, 5-year-old, John. We have seen him grow and learn to smile again. He first came to us so shy and wouldn't look anyone in the eye. You can now see his bright eyes when he looks up at you and his sweet toothless grin. He wants to become a pilot when he grows up and we know he can do it!



Jane is a seven year old student with amazing goals. She loves to play hide-and-seek and is very grateful at having a sponsor. She was very ill last year and with the help of our medical team she was able to get proper medical attention as well as sanitation education for her family. She is now very healthy and has plans to study and then go onto University to become a doctor. Jane's mother is very active at the school as well, helping to start the first PTA in Ruiru.
With your help you can help students just like this continue with their education and not worry about if or where they can go to school.

With your donation of $155.00 per year (that's just 42 cents per day) your donation will provide one student with a uniform, shoes, books for the year, supplies, 6 month medical screenings and appropriate treatment, and 1-2 field trips. YOU will receive biannual reports on your child; progress note, picture, and letter or drawing from your student. You are also welcome to write letters to your student as well. You will also have the knowledge that because of YOU one more student will succeed and know that someone on the other side of the earth cared enough about them. That makes them smile everyday!

Walking through the African Bush for Education

Meet Elijah Kirrokor and his little brother. They both are Maasai children from one of the villages we serve in Nkoilale, a small village in the Masai Mara Rift Valley.

Last year their father was walking the many miles he would every day with his goats and cattle when a flash flood swept him away. Elijah's dad was never found. Because of the Maasai's rich and ancient culture Elijah's mother then had to move to the village of her husbands father which is approximately 5 miles away from the only school in the area. Elijah, understanding the value of education, would walk 10+ miles per day through the African bush just to go to school. He would then return home and tend to his daily chores as well as sharing what he had learned that day with his little brother.

On less than 800 calories per day, the norm for the Maasai, you can imagine how tired Elijah and children like him would be by the end of the day. Malnutrition along with parasitic disease and lack of clean drinking water are normal to these children. However, they love to learn (and they learn fast!), they laugh, they hold hands, they play and are super curious. They love life and their families.




 When we learned of Elijah's story we were able to find him a school sponsor. For $150 USD per year Elijah now goes to boarding school in one of the best schools in Kenya and it's not terribly far from his village. He spends the week at school, guaranteed an education, a safe place to sleep, three meals per day, clean drinking water, safety from not having to walk 10+ miles per day through the bush, and he has many friends. He still goes home at break to share what he has learned with his little brother and the other young children of his village.





There are thousands more children just like Elijah in Nkoiale alone, just a small part of the Rift Valley. They all know that the education is there but it's just out of reach. If you are interested in sponsoring a student at Nkoilale Maasai Boarding School or our Little Giants Primary School you can make a huge difference in a child's life as well. You can be a true hero!
