Missions for Orphans found needs for schooling in 2 different villages in Kenya. We built preschools in Turkwel and West Pokot. At these preschools MFO provides not only an education for the preschool children but also provide meals for them as well. Each school has 50 children who attend. Each child who attends gets porridge as their meal which is made with Beans, Millet, and Maize. This is to give them the best nutrients possible for the needs of the children to ensure not only the growth mentally but also to make sure they are healthy and not malnourished. 

     At each preschool there is a primary teacher who lives on site in a hut. The teachers for these preschools make $50 a month (USD). The teacher is responsible for building a foundation for these children that includes introducing cultural traditions, as well as language/literacy, science, math, art, sensorial activities, and positive social interactions. For many of these children this might be the only meal they will recieve for the day. Because this is a rural, poverty stricken area, primary and secondary schooling requires school fees. If there is no school available and the families can not afford school fees, this could be the only education that these children may receive.

      Schooling in Kenya comes at a cost that many villagers can not afford. On average it costs 1000 Kenyan Shillings ($10 USD) a quarter to send a child to primary school, 5000 Kenyan Shillings ($50 USD) a quarter to send a child to secondary school, and 15000 Kenyan Shillings ($150 USD) a quarter to send a child to high school. This does not include the prices for school uniforms or materials that need to be supplied for the students to work.
     Missions for Orphans is currently supplying the amount needed for school fees, uniforms, and materials for 39 children from the village of Kipsaina. Three of which are in special schools for children with special needs. Our goal is to get all of these children through high school with the later option of university or trade.  It is important to Missions for Orphans to not only supply these children with an education to last their lifetime but to also teach them the importance of self-sufficiency.
