BrightPoint for Children

The Segera Mission is located north of Nairobi near Mt. Kenya. It is truly an oasis in the middle of a rocky desert. The people of this area are very poor and struggle to grow any crops. Water is a major problem, and nothing grows. The children must herd any animals many kilometers each day to find grazing and water.

The Mission was formed to help these people, with medical needs and education and food for the poor. A man they all called "Pappy", had a vision to build this center, and he and his family have transformed lives. There is much left to be done, and you can help.

The Leadership of the Mission and the 410 Bridge are working with BrightPoint for Children to help raise the quality of education for the children of the area. Ereri Primary will be the next school to receive assistance for their 200 students. There are not enough desks for each child and they share textbooks between several children so they cannot take books home to do homework. There are many supplies needed for the Classrooms such as maps, books, chalk and paper. They cannot afford to give assessment tests on a regular basis, so many children do not do well on their Grade 8 Final National Exam, which determines if they can continue into High School. And there is no money to feed them lunch and most walk too far to go home for lunch (and this may be the only meal some children get because they come from impoverished families).

For only $39/month, you can help one of these children and the Ereri Primary School.
