Impact Stories — The Kilgoris Project

Capping Off the Year

Bright-colored caps and gowns, nonstop celebrating and dancing, beaming smiles... Graduation season at TKP schools is monumental for the Kilgoris community. This October, TKP's eighth graduating class celebrated their incredible achievement alongside proud parents, teachers, and staff. Our eighth-grade graduates represent years of hard work, commitment, and generosity on TKP's two largest campuses—Intimigom (42 graduates) and Oltikampu (31 graduates). At the same time, our Preschool 2 graduates represent the beginning of a strong educational journey ahead at Intimigom (43 graduates) and Oltikampu (35 graduates).

Many of these students have been with TKP since preschool—that means your generosity transcends time and impacts families forever. 

Here's a glimpse of your impact:

  • 73 8th grade graduates across both campuses– 100% accepted to high school

  • 78 preschool graduates advancing to 1st grade

  • 11 girls in the Intimigom graduating class are the first women in their families to attend school

From investing in preschoolers just learning their alphabet and numbers to eighth graders advancing to high school, you are making a life-changing impact in rural Kenya.  

Asante Sana!

Empowering Girls, Transforming Communities

As we celebrate International Day of the Girl this month, it is with great joy that we look back on the amazing journey we've taken together in the pursuit of education and empowerment for every girl. 

Did you know ... 55% of TKP students are girls?

Your partnership is unlocking opportunities for a greater part of the TKP student body. Most of the bright young girls enrolled in TKP schools are the first women in their families to receive an opportunity for education. Your investment in TKP is changing the trajectory of future generations. 

Your 2023 Impact

  • 150 girls stayed in school because of access to menstruation support 

  • 100% of TKP graduate girls accepted to university, college or post-secondary training program 

  • Hundreds of girls participating in enrichment programs for further leadership and educational opportunities 

The impact of our work extends far beyond the classroom. By supporting girls' education and health care, we are building a stronger community and a more equitable society. Thank YOU for your commitment to creating a world where all girls can dream, learn, and lead!
