Dear supporters,
We are thrilled to share an exciting new development that will enhance the learning experience of our students in Kenya. As part of the new national Competency-based Curriculum, swimming has been introduced as a subject for our Korando Primary School students. But here's the splash of reality: many of our kids have never even seen a swimming pool, let alone learned how to swim.
During one of our recent "swimming classes" (theory, mixed with some exercises on the playground), a dedicated volunteer observed the children's enthusiasm and recognized the need for real swimming lessons (in actual water...). This inspired us to explore solutions, and YES - We found the perfect opportunity just an 8-minute walk away from our center!
A nearby hotel, with a beautiful swimming pool, is open to letting our students use their facilities for structured lessons. Imagine the joy and excitement of our kids as they dive into the pool on a weekly basis for the next 1 year. The hotel's management has already agreed to give us an exceptionally good rate and we are confident that this collaboration will provide our students with essential swimming skills, ensuring their safety in waters as well as compliance with their curriculum requirements.
But we need your help to make this dream come true!
### How You Can Make a Difference
We are launching this fundraising campaign to cover the costs of regular swimming classes at the hotel for the next 1 year. Your generous donation will directly contribute to:
- Securing access to the hotel’s swimming pool for our Korando students for 1 year
- Training a few of our teachers to become certified swimming instructors, ensuring that our school can sustain this initiative in the long run.
### Why This Matters
Swimming is not just a fun activity; it is a crucial life skill that promotes physical health, confidence, and discipline. By supporting this initiative, you are not only helping our students fulfill their curriculum requirements but also enriching their lives with a skill that could save lives and open new doors of opportunity.
### 100% of Your Donation Goes to the Kids!
Here's the best part: We are committed to carrying 100% of the administrative costs. That means every euro you donate goes directly to providing swimming lessons for our kids. Your contribution will have an immediate and powerful impact on their lives.
Join us in making a big splash! Let’s give these amazing children the chance to learn, grow, and have fun in the water. Together, we can turn their dreams into reality and create unforgettable memories.
Thank you for your unwavering support. Let’s dive in and make a difference!
With heartfelt gratitude,
