NOW FUNDING THE 2024 SCHOOL YEAR

When you donate to the Joysprings Educational Centre Teacher’s Salary Grant you help to ensure well-deserving teachers receive their earned income, can provide for their families with peace of mind, and can walk into the classroom with confidence to sow into the next generation of students in Kibera, Kenya.

This grant meets the following criteria as outlined in the Alabaster Foundation Criteria for Ministry Partnership:

Joysprings Education Centre is actively working to expand the Kingdom of God through the active and daily discipleship of both their students and staff.
The Wanyama family are full-time missionaries living and serving in Kenya.
Joysprings Education Centre has provided documentation on their legal formation with the Kenyan Government.

Our Goal is to raise $25,080 to fund the payment of 2024 school year salaries for the Joysprings Educational Centre’s entire staff (303,000 KSH per month).

At the current exchange rate of approximately 125-140 (KSH) to $1 (USD) , this equates to about $2,280 (USD) per month during the eleven month school year.

The 2023 grant is fully funded!

IN KENYA, EDUCATION IS NOT FREE

Only 30% of Joysprings students can afford their tuition each month.

Joysprings Educational Centre’s operating budget is funded through tuition. When students, living in extreme poverty, cannot pay their tuition fees the school’s electricity bills, water bills, staff salaries and the like go unpaid. This grant, ensures that the Joysprings leadership team can redirect tuition received from students to cover utilities, teaching supplies and infrastructure.

The Story Is In The Details.

Cost

Each staff member is paid a monthly salary ranging from 15,000 KSH to 25,000 KSH a month. At the conversion rate of 124 KSH to 1 USD, this can be converted to approximately $120 - $200 per month.
