Light Up Gosese Village: Bring Electricity Home- Need: $2,600

Imagine a village where the day ends when the sun sets, and students can't study after dark. For the 20 homes in Gosese Village—long-time beneficiaries of FIOH-USA's support—this is the daily reality.

Your donation will be the spark that transforms this community!

• Boost Business: Allow local entrepreneurs to store perishable goods (animal and farm products) and operate after hours.

• Empower Students: Provide light so children can study in their homes after sunset, improving their educational opportunities.

• Assure Safety: Increase security for all residents after dark.

Cost Breakdown: $2,600 covers the installation of a main power line and internal wiring for each of the 20 homes.

Launch a New Primary School at Angelic Ark Center- Need $6,450

Last year, the Angelic Ark Center, once home to 35 orphans and vulnerable children, shifted its mission following a government directive. Now, the dedicated rooms and space are ready for a new purpose: a community primary school.

This project does more than just fill a space; it extends a lifeline of support to children who were integrated back into their extended families. By establishing Grades 1 and 2, we provide quality education and continued care.

Cost Breakdown: $6,450 will outfit the first two grades with everything they need to open their doors: desks, supplies, educational materials, and more.

Expand St. Charles Nursery School in Awasi- Need: $3,400

St. Charles Nursery in Awasi is a place of excellence, currently served by three dedicated FIOH-USA-supported teachers. They are doing an amazing job, but the demand for quality early childhood education is growing!

Your support will help the school double its capacity and its impact by:

• Expanding to two full classes and adding a third teacher.

• Providing essential furniture and bookshelves.

• Funding a vital feeding program to ensure the students get the nutrition they need to learn.

• Installing a water tank and fencing to secure the campus and provide clean water.

Cost Breakdown: $3,400 will transform St. Charles into a thriving, expanded learning center.

"Stop the Spot": Keep Girls in School-Need $1,000 per school (Ongoing Annual Program)

For many girls in Kisumu, their period means missing 3 to 5 days of school every single month—a serious threat to their education and future. The "Stop the Spot" program is the simple, powerful solution.

We want to expand this successful program to two more schools we visited. Your ongoing support provides monthly sanitary napkins, ensuring these young women can stay in the classroom where they belong.

Cost Breakdown: $1,000 per school provides a full year of support for this life-changing, recurring program.

Invest in the Future: Laptops for Nursing Students- Need $1,000 for four laptops

The path to becoming a nurse is challenging, and our sponsored students require laptops for essential research and taking required exams. A lack of technology is a major barrier to their success.

This is a sustainable investment in their professional careers. The laptops will be loaned to the students for the duration of their studies, and upon graduation, they will be returned and lent to the next cohort of aspiring nurses.

Cost Breakdown: $250 per laptop / $1,000 for four laptops.
