The total student body numbers 84, with 23 of these students being orphan children. Since it is difficult to deny assistance to most of the children, GO!’s support for food for the children assist us in feeding all of the students.
I am honored to announce that our students scored above the Kenyan Education standards in all eleven categories measured.
JOY Education Centre is grateful for your support in 2023. With your assistance we were able to buy for our Grade 1/2/3 Exercise books which helps children in their education without hindrance. All of the children achieved their academic goals in those various grades (classes).
In the month of May, two children, Natalia Omondi and Ellah Omondi, were able to get a P.E. Kit which enable them to be equal with other children during outdoor activities. We were very much thankful because through these children's increased self-esteem, the two kids were able to play with others freely hence boosting their mental capacity.
Through the feeding programme that you support, we have improved the education standards of the learners because nearly all of them were able to better concentrate on their studies. We are very much thankful for your contributions towards the lives of our Orphans and vulnerable children that attend our school.
In February 2023, the two twins were able to join Grade 1 because through your monthly support we were able to buy for them full school uniforms and school bags. The two children were happy and today they are enjoying learning like other pupils.
In November, we were able to buy the Homework Assignment books to help of learners in their studies both at home and in schoo. We were able as teachers to notice that the academic standard of the learners improving and they were in a position to meet their expectations in their different areas of learning. Thank you for benefiting our Joy Education Centre and having confidence in our children to excel.
The generosity of our funding partners at Global Orphan Relief helps many pupils like the children that attend JOY Education Centre to unlock their potential and follow their passion. Your support changes lives for the better fostering hope for the future.
