Child of the Week - Hillary

Meet Hillary – WH403

Birthday – February 2

At 19 years old, Hillary is one of our older students, but he is very dedicated to finishing school.  Hillary will be advancing to Form 4 at Waddington High School in January.  He lives with his parents and sister in the Kayole-Soweto slums of Nairobi.  His father is unemployed and his mother is a peasant farmer.  He does well in Biology and hopes to be a pharmacist one day.  Hillary enjoys playing football in his free time.

As a rising Form 4 student Hillary only needs a sponsor for one more year to give him the support he needs to finish his secondary education.  Will you be his friend and sponsor through this-all important final year?

You can sponsor Hillary on the Basic Program for only $12.50 a month or the lunch-Included Program for only $20 a month.  Both sponsorship programs cover a portion of the student’s school fees and a $3/month contribution toward the cost of the student’s KCSE Exam.  Children write to their sponsors at least three times per year (once per term).

Please make a difference in the life of a child today!
