Edmund Rice Secondary School Archives - Kilimanjaro Kidz Education Foundation

‘Tis the season when we’re all busy gathering with friends and family, decorating our homes, baking goodies and shopping for gifts.

It can be a magical time for children of all ages as we tell Santa what we’d like under the tree, light the candles of the menorah and feast for Kwanzaa. ‘Tis the season to reflect as well.

‘Tis the season to be happy for our many blessings.

*Friends of Kilimanjaro Kidz Education Foundation are SUCH blessings to us and the children who you are sponsoring!

‘Tis the season to look back at the successes of the year and to reflect on the shortfalls and how we may do better in the upcoming days, weeks and year.

*You all have given hope, help and happiness in the form of private schooling where the children have the chance to learn English and get 2 warm meals daily.

‘Tis the season to love with abundance and to proclaim that love freely!

*We LOVE how Amy’s vision after climbing that tall mountain has taken on a life of its own. And we LOVE all of you!

‘Tis the season.

Meet the Kidz…

Jambo! My name is Kelvin. I became a Kilimanjaro Kid at 17 years old. My school name is Edmund Rice Secondary School. I live in Arusha, and I like school because I want to save people’s lives. I want to be a doctor.

We Need Your Help

Friends, we have FIVE students who were kickstarted with the initial $600, but do not yet have long-term sponsors. For $50 a month, you can help secure their educational future!

If you haven’t yet sponsored and would like to, or you are a sponsor and want to give an extra one-time contribution, please visit the How You Can Help page and and donate today! Our students, who range in age from 5 to 18, are so thankful for having their education secured, which includes two meals every school day, and removes a huge burden from their family’s daily concerns.

Please be sure to Like us on Facebook, invite your friends, and encourage them to sign up for the newsletter. Go to KilimanjaroKidz.com and scroll to the bottom of our home page to subscribe yourself!

We are one month into 2021, and already good things are taking place!

We thank each and every one of you, and pray that you continue to spread the good word and help us find more people who will enjoy being a sponsor of one of these fantastic Kilimanjaro kids!

We’re Climbing!

We set a goal to bring on 21 more children, fully sponsored, in 2021. In January, we found committed sponsors for 3 children and got them transferred into private school and on their way to greater success! We have a commitment for #4 and hope to have that child in school by month’s end.

We know these children now have the opportunity for a radically different future, because of YOU.

Meet the Kidz…

With the permission and support of their parents, we are going to start introducing you to our Kidz. For those of you who are committed sponsors, we have set up a private Facebook group where you can meet all of the sponsored Kidz and receive updates when they’re graduating, among other things. If you’re already a sponsor, you’ll be receiving an invite to that group in the next week.

We’d like you to meet Moreen. She was our very first sponsored child! Moreen is 14, and she was able to begin the 2020 school year at Edmund Rice Secondary School in Arusha. She is doing very well in her second year and will be taking national examinations this year.
