Exciting Upgrades are Here

Savoring the goodness of your generosity

Here's what your end-of-year gift is doing in Kilgoris RIGHT NOW: An incredible school menu upgrade! 

So, what's NEW on the TKP lunch menu?

Introducing ugali, a hearty Kenyan staple made from maize, beef stew, and green veggies. Thanks to your support, TKP produces 100% of the maize needed for the student meal program. We're also able to top it off with meat and vegetables for essential protein and nutrients (our first time adding meat to the lunch menu!). This upgraded meal is part of a pilot program to introduce new meals with more variety for our students.

"Our new meal of ugali, beef stew, and green veggies provides a well-rounded lunch covering all the food groups and provides energy for the kids. It will boost our students' nutrition to another level." 

– Health Program Manager, Ashley Gasperi

Thanks to your support, TKP students are enjoying a wider range of healthy foods in 2024. We couldn't boost the meal program without your recent gifts! Thank you for being an essential part of our community and the student meal program. Asante Sana!

Ololturot's New Teacher Housing Grand Opening

TKP's Ololturot campus is now home to a newly constructed teacher housing building. This home accommodates 20 teachers and their families.

Impact at large: The Ololturot teacher housing significantly benefits teachers who would otherwise have to travel very far to get to work. It has everything a family needs to live comfortably and thrive, including a private space with kitchen and appliances, showers, bedrooms, living spaces, and a courtyard. 

 In January 2023, the TKP staff and Ololturot community gathered to celebrate the grand opening. Take a look at the memories from this monumental day!

As we develop buildings on TKP campuses, we are supporting futures for the Kilgoris community... and we couldn't do it without your support. Asante Sana. 

"With this new home on campus for my family and I, I’ll be able to work on my lessons efficiently and serve the girls in a greater way with my presence here at Ololturot. Thank you, TKP supporters!”

– Ololturot Grade 2 Teacher, Madam Dorcas

“It is not about the building, it is about what this building will provide for our teachers and community.”

– President, Greg Baird
