Oloilalei's New Classroom Block Grand Opening

TKP's Oloilalei campus is now home to a newly constructed six-classroom building. Oloilalei's new classroom block provides space for this campus to grow for years to come. Students explored their new classrooms as teachers here welcomed students from preschool to third grade back to school in January 2023.

In February 2023, the TKP staff and Oloilalei community gathered to celebrate the grand opening with full, grateful hearts. Take a look at the snapshots from this special day!

"This means so much to the Oloilalei community. More classrooms mean more students can receive quality education from our skilled teachers. Thank you, TKP family!" 

– Executive Director, David Lemiso 

“It’s not only the physical buildings that we are celebrating today, it is the learning that will happen in these classrooms that will change lives of our kids.”

– President, Greg Baird

TKP and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Challenge

CREATING SOLUTIONS TO GLOBAL CHALLENGES IN RURAL KENYA

The United Nations is on a mission to transform the world we live in, improving it significantly by 2030, through the Sustainable Development Goals campaign. These 17 goals are aimed at tackling some of the biggest challenges facing humanity–from sweeping poverty off the map, to combating hunger and fighting inequality, to taking on climate change. World leaders, businesses, local governments and nonprofits worldwide have committed to overcoming these challenges. With this ambitious framework in place, there's hope that together, we can create a brighter future for ourselves and future generations.

At The Kilgoris Project, we are committed to empowering communities and encouraging sustainable development because we know education is a catalyst for positive change. With your partnership and investment, TKP is making an impact across the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

2022 Impact Report

Dear TKP Family, 

As we share the 2022 Impact Report, the two of us sit down as colleagues, friends, and partners to share the  incredible work you’ve brought to life in Kilgoris, Kenya over the past year. Just a year ago, Greg came on board as  TKP’s new President to lead the tremendous work that has been building over the last 20 years. It’s been a year of  relationship building—with our staff and boards of directors on two continents; with our strategic partners; and with you, our friends and faithful donors. 

We couldn’t be prouder of the impact that is unfolding every day thanks to your investment in our team and students. Our 12 schools on six campuses served 1,775 students in 2022 and sent 138 eighth graders to high school in an area where most students don’t have access to the opportunity. TKP's exceptional enrichment programs (scouts, dance, music, and more) and field trips returned at full capacity after pandemic-related holds in 2020 and 2021. And, we continue to invest in our people, campuses, and programs to deliver a holistic, best-in-class education experience to the children of Kilgoris. 

Your gifts fueled a record fundraising year for The Kilgoris Project in 2022. That generosity is the foundation for impacting more students in even deeper ways for years to come. 

Please read on in this 2022 Impact Report for more highlights and join us in celebrating these accomplishments as a global TKP family. 

Asante sana, 

Greg Baird
