Hi April,
Here is the text that’s been approved so far for the *high school* page.
I’m still waiting for final approval but wanted to give you something so
you can get started.
The students who graduated from 8th grade in 2024 will continue at MWCEA
for 9th grade. The Ministry of Education in Kenya has changed the system so
that, starting in 2025, high school will begin with 10th grade, and junior
secondary school will include grades 7, 8, and 9. We want to raise
sufficient funding to sponsor more students for high school. In 2025, we
will have eight students graduating from high school, and they hope to
attend college! With the high schoolers growing with each class, there’s
always another cohort of graduates from MWCEA who will need financial
support to continue their education in high school.
School fees for the school year 2025-2026 are approximately $1700 per
student – and this
is the minimum amount needed. Like most teenagers, these students go
through growth spurts, and most outgrow their shoes and clothing in just 6
months!
Here are the basic needs of a typical high school student:
–
Tuition/books $438

Room and Board $652

Clothing $241
