Let's Hear It For The Boys!
The Save Our Brothers Club with Kenya Keys executive director, Mark Friess

Save Our Brothers!   These young men started a club to help the neediest boys in their school. The primary goal of the club is to help each other to heal. To do this, they decided they needed some funds to help boys travel home during school breaks, and to help with other necessities.

So, these industrious boys planted a garden that is lush and beautiful. They have learned a lot about agriculture while raising vegetables and selling them! These young men are a strong group of mentors and leaders.

Many boys were going to have to leave school because poverty prevented them from paying their school fees,  but Kenya Keys has been able to sponsor  some of them.  Do you know someone who would  sponsor   a young man?
 
From Orphan To Engineer
Nicholus Ndolo Komu
Kenya Keys takes pride in building the future leaders of Kenya. That's more than just a slogan - you can see it in Nicholus' graduation from university. His smile tells it all. 
Orphaned, homeless and kept out of school because he couldn't pay the fees, he slept in a flour mill - dreaming that someday, somehow, he'd get back to school. Nicholus read every book he could get his hands on "so his mind wouldn't die," he says. Then he heard about Kenya Keys, applied for sponsorship, and his life changed entirely.  
Even before graduation, Nicholus started a small electronics business. He already has four employees working for him in Samburu. As a friend said, "Nicholus is unlocking other's potential now; he has paid his younger sister's school fees and is helping others with their education."
Thanks to a great sponsor, Karen Nickerson, who stayed with him for six years, he is now a top graduate in engineering from Mombasa Technical University. Congratulations Nicholus! The future is bright before you!
Paralympics Contender
Peter Yeri Kabani 

Kenya Keys students distinguish themselves in many ways, but college student Peter Yeri Kabani is unique. He lost his arm in an accident when he was young. His fierce determination has him close to graduating from St. Mary's Teacher Training College, and he has been selected to represent Kenya in the 2020 Paralympics championship. He is amazing!

Heading to Kenya March 12th!

Traveling to Kenya is not for the faint of heart! Led by Rinda and Brent Hayes, the group will spend more than 30 hours getting there, and they are eager to go!  These are major donors, sponsors, and volunteers eager to engage in the program in real life. They will experience the beauty and the cultural exchange, as well as witness, firsthand, the power of education to change lives, communities, and even countries.  

Read about each team member and their focus on this trip.
