DEADLINE SEPTEMBER 30
We want to tell you about Farashuu, a vibrant 8-year-old girl from a small village in Kenya. She needs your help. Would you consider giving a gift today? You likely get asked to give a lot, it is because you are so generous.
Farashuu’s name means “butterfly” in Swahili, and like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, she is ready to spread her wings and soar - if only given the chance.
Every morning, Farashuu wakes up at dawn, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and hope. She carefully smooths out her faded dress and walks to the edge of her village. There, she watches other children in their crisp uniforms heading to school. Farashuu’s heart flutters with excitement as she imagines herself among them, carrying books, writing in notebooks, and absorbing knowledge that could transform her future.
But for now, that remains just a dream.
Farashuu’s parents, like many in their village, struggle to provide even the basics. The cost of school fees, books, and uniforms is simply out of reach. Instead of learning to read and write, Farashuu spends her days helping her mother tend to their small vegetable garden and looking after her younger siblings.
Yet, Farashuu hasn’t lost her spirit. In the evenings, she sits under the village’s old acacia tree, listening intently as her friends share what they’ve learned in school. She traces letters in the dust, determined to learn despite the obstacles.
This is where you come in. YOU CAN SEND A KENYAN GIRL TO SCHOOL!
For just $40, you can provide Farashuu with the books and curriculum she needs for an entire school year. Your gift can be the gentle breeze that helps this young butterfly take flight. She and many others like her need your help today.
Our goal is to fund education for 120 children by September 30, 2024. Will you help us reach this goal and change lives like Farashuu’s?
Here’s how your gift can make a difference:
$40 equips one child with a year’s worth of educational materials
$80 supports two children
$200 provides for five children
$1,200 funds a quarter of our goal, changing the lives of 30 children
By investing in Farashuu’s education, you’re not just providing books – you’re opening a world of possibilities. You’re giving her the chance to learn, grow, and perhaps one day, bring colorful change to her community, just like her namesake brings beauty to the world.
Without your help, Farashuu’s future looks uncertain. The consequences of missing out on education are profound and long-lasting. Without your help, she will remain trapped in poverty, face limited opportunities and be vulnerable to exploitation.
We know you don’t want that for Farashuu and many like her. None of us do. That’s why your support is so crucial right now.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Your gift of $40 can rewrite Farashuu’s story. It can transform her from a girl watching from the sidelines to a student actively shaping her own future. With education, Farashuu can become a catalyst for change in her family and community.

Grateful for you,
Dr. Daniel & Mary Beth Gilbert
P.S. Remember, the deadline to reach our goal is September 18, 2024. Your timely support can help ensure that Farashuu and 99 other children have the educational resources they need for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your generosity!
P.P.S. There are more than 500 children who need your help. Everything we receive over our goal will go to help them.
