Food for Thought

Each year, your gifts in December allow us to add something new to TKP’s nutrition program. Five years ago we added breakfast, then the next year more fresh fruit, next it was more substantial meals for the preschoolers. And, in 2019 we expanded even further. Your generosity creates these beautiful mealtime scenes. Bowls filled with rice, beans and veggies. Fresh, clean water. Bananas. And our Student Health Officer, Amos Leperes, beaming with pride as his students fill up on the nutrients they need!

We’ve seen the fruits of your generosity and need your help to keep it up! TKP schools are growing (we’re expecting to add up to 105 more students in 2020!) and food prices are rising in Kenya. In 2020, we plan to add more variety and nutrition to the student meals by including seasonal produce like watermelon, mangoes and avocados.

Will you join us with a gift today? We can’t continue our life-changing meal and nutrition program without you. Visit www.kilgoris.org/donate to make your gift today.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

From Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve, we’re celebrating the people working tirelessly behind-the-scenes to make TKP what it is. From our Kenyan staff, to our U.S.-based team, parents, students, travelers and our thousands of donors… each person plays a critical role in in the lives of 1,400 children in rural Kenya. Learn about these incredible people transforming lives, thanks to your generosity!

Meet Jennifer, a teacher at Intimigom Primary School. Jennifer is a bright light on our campus and shines through all she does. Whether it's working with kids in the classroom, leading scouts, or greeting campus visitors... she does it all with a smile and a joyful heart. A highlight of any trip to Intimigom is 400 students singing and praising in unison. These songs and the special greetings visitors are treated to, are thanks to Jennifer's creativity and leadership. (TKPx travelers... share a favorite song or greeting from Intimigom in the comments!) Thank you Jennifer, we love your heart and your creativity. We appreciate you!

Meet Dalson, a teacher at Oltikampu Primary school. Dalson's love of teaching, humble heart, and ability to connect with students make him a star on our Oltikampu Campus. This year, Dalson served as lead teacher for Class 8--the first graduating class at Oltikampu. He led a group of 15 students through the entire year and in preparation for the important KCPE exam. Dalson was honored at the Oltikampu graduation for his commitment to Class 8 and he was beaming with pride as his students received their diplomas. Thank you Dalson, we love your dedication to your students and appreicate your leadership!

David Lemiso, Executive Director gives a special shout-out to all of the donors who make TKP's work with children in rural Kenya possible!
