Because what we give can transform

communities

At RUSH over the years a huge difference has been made through what you have given:

Clean water has ensured that vulnerable children are kept healthy

Nurseries for the school have helped with pre-school education

You paid for the land and part of the building costs for a brand new secondary school!

Because it can transform communities

RUSH academy and secondary schools have great reputations and provide a first class education (RUSH academy came 4th in Maths in the entirety of Kenya!!)

Most of the children cannot afford to pay and where some 40% either have HIV/aids or have lost one or both parents to HIV/aids.

All thanks to your generosity
