Support Systemic Change: Full Student Sponsorship
Sponsor one (1) student with $400.00 / per Term/Semester (KES 50,000.00) to sponsor a boy and/or a girl through high school, university, college, or TVET fees.
Breaking the Cycle: The Power of Full Education
The single greatest barrier to escaping poverty is the financial wall surrounding education. For bright, ambitious youth in Nairobi, Bungoma, and Kakamega, reaching their potential is often impossible due to prohibitive fees, even after receiving government subsidies. The comprehensive nature of school costs (tuition, boarding, exam fees, and maintenance) is overwhelming, leading to abrupt dropout. As a result, secondary school enrollment in informal settlements is up to 48% lower than the county average (Nairobi Education Report, 2024), trapping families in a cycle of generational poverty.
Furthermore, students who are consistently sent home for fees miss critical instruction, causing performance to plummet. Even if they finish high school, without further vocational or tertiary training, their chances of securing formal employment are minimal. A singular financial barrier prevents the youth from becoming an economically empowered, positively engaged citizen.
The HBI Solution: A Guaranteed Educational Pathway
Your full sponsorship of $400 per term/semester (KES 50,000) eliminates all financial hurdles for a vulnerable boy or girl, covering their high school, college, or vocational training fees. This investment is the most powerful tool for ensuring generational change.
How Full Sponsorship Supports HBI’s Pillars:
Education Empowerment
This is the ultimate investment in this pillar. Full sponsorship guarantees educational continuity, allowing the student to maintain a focused, stress-free path from secondary school right through to technical or university level. This maximizes their academic potential and ensures they graduate with certified skills.
Economic Empowerment
Education is the clearest path to formal employment. A sponsored student gains the certified skills necessary to secure high-value jobs, dramatically increasing their lifetime earning potential (often 40% higher than non-graduates). They transition from being economically vulnerable to being a financially stable pillar for their extended family, actively injecting wealth back into the community.
Good Governance
Sponsored students are taught to value accountability, civic engagement, and leadership. As future professionals (teachers, engineers, technicians), they become ethical citizens who understand their rights and responsibilities, contributing to a more transparent and well-governed society.
