| Introduction | YASHA Ministry is involved with several initiatives involving especially eduation to the needy. YASHA Hope Centre deals with vulnerable and special needs children. We marvel in the fact that Kelvin Kemboi, a former street boy and trouble maker, now is the headboy of Lerwa Centre of Excellence in Barnabas, Nakuru. We also serve in several locations where education proves to be a huge challenge. Although statistics are changing, one still finds that only a small percentage of kids in some of these areas proceed to secondary level. We've planted 2 nursery schools in Teret and Baraka and this year we have the privilege to get involved with a third school. English is the medium to provide education in Kenya - whether a child lives in the center of Nairobi or in the most remote village. We make use of the Accelerated Christian Curriculum where we had modified the pre-school and Grade 1 programs into a nursery school curriculum.We provide a 2 yr program where children learn to speak, read and write English, and so far we got incredible results as most kids who'd completed the course, skip standard 1 (the 1st year of Primary school). With your help we can reach more children. |
